Parents,
Students, Board, Administration: Working Together!
Thanks to our
school board and administration!
 Thursday December 18, 2009 was a
tremendous example of how the school board, administration, and the public
can work together in a positive and constructive manner. In a standing
room only meeting, the Gilbert Community showed incredible passion for
their music programs. We are deeply grateful to Board President Thad
Stump, the board, and the administration for taking the time to hear us
through and for giving thoughtful and respectful consideration to what we
had to say. Our biggest take away is that the music programs that we feel
are so critical and central to the educational experience really are are
at risk in the coming months and years, primarily due to shortfalls in
state education funding. We look forward to working in
collaboration with the board and administration in indentifying and
addressing the
sources of that risk. Our goal is to organize the huge passion among
parents and students in Gilbert in order to help our board meet these
risks and the coming challenges with an eye to problem solving and working
together.
