[Dhsbb-jazz] Fwd: Music program discussion at this Thursday's (11/21) school board meeting

[tslabaugh at djusd.net]

Hi all,

As of late, I have spent a significant amount of time preparing this report and would ask, if you are available, that you come to this meeting and support all of the music teachers, students, and the program we have in Davis. We are fortunate to have such a fine program and I do not take this reality for granted. Your attendance, public comments, and support would mean a lot to us all.

Many thanks!

Mr. Slabaugh

Dear fellow music supporters,

This Thursday (11/20) the school board will hear an informational presentation about the school music program.  It is not scheduled to make any decisions at the meeting, although the discussions could lead to future decisions about the music program.

Mr. Tom Slabaugh (DHS Band Director) and fellow music teachers have produced an informational report about the district music program, which can be found in the agenda packet for the meeting (under item V. a., http://davis.csbaagendaonline.net/cgi-bin/WebObjects/davis-eAgenda.woa/wa/displayMeeting?meetingID=1667).  The report makes some key recommendations for the improvement of access to the music program, including an elementary choral program (which might also serve as an elementary general music program) and a secondary guitar program.

Please consider attending the meeting.  The presentation is scheduled very early (7:15) in the school board meeting, City Council Chambers, and will allow you to get home at a reasonable hour.  Having parents and supporters present is always looks good for the program.  Your comments about the school music program during public comment period for that agenda item would also be appropriate.

Please pass this on to anyone else that you think would be interested.

Thanks for your consideration,

Hiram Jackson
