According to today's Redford Observer the South Redford Board of Education decided to reinstate vocal music at the middle and high school levels, in addition to an arts teacher who also has classes in both grade level buildings. These positions are kept inspite of cutting $2 million from their budget for the 2008 - 2009 school year.
This is a school district that just completed nearly $35 million in renovations, including a new performing arts facility.
Why do these districts spend millions of dollars to renovate schools and then decide they don't have enough funds to hire teachers? I know enough about school financing to realize that the monies are from different "pockets" but let's be realistic here people.
Anyway, kudos to the SR Board of Ed for keeping choir and art at the secondary level!
