[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for posting this update, OP. Fourth grade strings does matter. If FCPS cuts it entirely, those teachers, if they have seniority, could bump MS and HS orchestra teachers and take their jobs. I'm all for seniorityrights but frankly putting a teacher, who has taught mostly elementary kids, in charge of MS and HS orchestras, could create real problems with orchestra program quality at those levels, and in time the whole orchestra program could end up jeopardized if it's weakened at the MS/HS levels. Someone's going to come on and flame away about how "We should cut all orchestra, band, art, drama and just do reading, writing and arithmetic!' and so on. Don't care. Parents with kids in orchestra, band, art and drama know what those courses do for their kids and for schools as a whole. Get vocal and let the board know that WE know there's a much larger impact to this budget than merely "cutting fourth grade strings" indicates. I think the school board either is unaware of or doesn't care about the domino effect this would create.[/quote]

The bumping of teachers is an internal problem that isn't related to budget.[/quote]
