Maintain current FCPS minimum guidelines for instructional time of elementary music (band, chorus, general music, orchestra), art and PE classes and do not force students to choose one subject.

The Issue

The Master Scheduling committee will present these scheduling considerations along with calendar changes to the FCPS School Board on Thursday, June 5.  This would allow building principals to greatly reduce the amount of time students have class and it would force them to choose between general music, band, chorus and orchestra.  These changes would begin to dismantle one of the finest Fine Arts programs in the country.  Please sign and forward the link to as many people as possible.  We need to show new board members and Dr. Garza what the Arts mean to us!
