[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We should save Fillmore. The school my child attends has no room for an art room, music room or space to have a dance class. Yes, Fillmore is not perfect, but so much better than the "art on a cart" model. Please, it looks like all DCPS has to find is 500,000, which is a small sum, to the whole budget. How much will it cost each school in the end to hire "arts" teachers, which they won't. SAVE FILLMORE. [/quote] to be fair to dcps - the $600k is on top of the cost of arts teachers who would be allocated to the schools. The problem with the plan is that the schools are heavily enrolled and have no spare space or facilities for arts instruction. If our school had the space I think parents would be open to the school hiring teachers and developing its own arts program. When you think of the necessary capital investment though, Filmore looks like a bargain. [/quote]
