So Lake Region High School board wants to cut their music program. This scares me. They have a teacher there who has been teaching for a VERY long time, and is well-respected and well-liked. How can they possibly think that cutting a program that many kids need will improve their odds to pass the school budget? This job is simply impossible to do at 50%. The music program at LR is chorus, select chorus, band, jazz band, and music theory & appreciation. The program will be DECIMATED with this cut.
The Lake Region Union High School Board of Directors will hold their next meeting Thursday, December 3rd, at 6:30 PM at Lake Region Union High School. As stated in this week's issue of the Chronicle, the Board has proposed a 50% reduction in Peter Gage's position as Music Director at Lake Region. Please come to the meeting to show your support. Call your town's School Board Members. Encourage friends to call and write letters.
Please show your support by attending the next school board meeting this Thursday. You should arrive between 6:00 and 6:15 PM.
Let the decision makers know what a positive force Mr. Gage has been in your life as a music teacher and mentor, and how essential he is and the music program is to the educational offerings at Lake Region.
You can make a difference. Spread the word and please let your voices be heard.
