[quote=Anonymous]It's a little alarming to see people suggesting that instead of funding Fillmore, we should have a full and comprehensive arts program at each home school. Where is the funding coming from for THAT? The pooling of resources that Fillmore represents more than doubles the arts budget available to any of the participating schools. If they stopped participating, they might get one part-time art OR music teacher at their home school. Certainly not the full range of multi-disciplinary arts options they get at Fillmore. And the idea that Fillmore should be allowed to perish because the arts curriculum at a private school is better? The mind absolutely boggles. Surely you don't think that all these DCPS students across 8 wards of DC who are currently serviced by the Fillmore program would have the option of going to private school instead? A handful of them may, but they're not the only children we need to serve in this community.[/quote]
