FYI - In short our local school board to save money cut art, music & PE from the K - 4th grade schools. The problem is, these classes are required by the state. The school board don't care, they feel they are above the state. Well after I addressed this issue at board meetings monthly since March 2004 as a parent & PTO member, I was getting nowhere. I recently turned to the Regional Office of Education who's job is to oversees several district superintendants including ours. They wrote a letter to the board in support of me, but did nothing. After feeling their office didn't do enough for me I went up the ladder to State Board of Education's Accountability Divison. Now the district superintendant had to listen and he's HOT!
He's so mad I received a letter in the mail dated 10/18/2004 from him (the district Superintendent Mr. Michael M. Duffy) notifying me that I am now required to call the school building principal for each building in the district prior to visiting. He said in the letter that I gave "direction to the custodian". He's full of shit! Even if I did, the punishment don't match the crime. I know this is an attack towards me for stepping forward and pursuing the issue of no art, PE and music with the state.
What I need from you guys is your moral support and/or ideas/help.
