Why this petition matters
URGENT!!! CLARK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT CURRENT and FORMER PARENTS and STUDENTS:
Based on the schedule and information just released from CCSD (Reopening Plan), our music classes are in jeopardy. The new schedule only allows for 1 semester of any class taken next year - this includes AP, IB, performing arts (choir, band, orchestra, mariachi, guitar, theatre, dance, etc). Students need to be in these classes for a FULL year.
We MUST stand up to this injustice to our kids!!!! There has got to be another schedule model that will still keep our kids safe and enable them to have a full school year of each of their classes.
Music and Arts Education is essential for Social and Emotional Learning and is part of a well-rounded education for all students.
WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW:
- Attend the CCSD School Board Meeting through teleconference on Thursday, June 25, at 5:00 p.m.
