What?
Save the Block/Music/Art Protest
Wednesday February 11th 5-6:30PM City Hall Hayward
Hayward School District Board of Directors Meeting
6:30PM
"Cuts Hurt" Video:
www.youtube.com/watch
Why?
Elimination of the High School Block System with give students the choice of only six classes per year instead of eight classes. Limiting the classes will eliminate many
of the elective classes students enjoy such as music and art. Many students attend Hayward high schools because of the strong art and music programs.
Elimination of Elementary Instrumental Music program will deny students the opportunity to experience music which has been proven to help students learn in other subjects. The early development programs are essential to strong music programs in middle and high school.
"Our Angry Tired Teachers band will perform at the protest and we produced a video to spread awareness about the Hayward Unified School District's continued failure to make budget cuts on an administrative level. Every time they're in a budget squeeze they never consider cutting the questionable high salary district positions. Instead, they hurt students and teachers by eliminating music and art classes."
~Andrew Kong Knight, Hayward High Art Instructor, Angry Tired Teachers
