[quote=Anonymous]The Mayor's budget cut $230K from Walls' budget which equated to two positions including their dramatic arts teacher and a language teacher. Chairman Mendelson recently proposed a counter-budget but it only restores $29K -- not nearly enough to keep the positions. The school HSA has helped coordinate a lot of outreach to the DC City Council to urge them to restore a full budget to the school. It's not too late to make your own voice heard by emailing or calling the Mayor or Mendelson, or your councilmember or any of the at-large councilmembers to ask for their help while they are in the middle of budget work right now. While I think the HSA and parents would be willing to help fund gaps in the theatre and language program, the focus right now is getting the city government to do the right thing and pay for teachers who have been doing good work at a successful school.
