Forest Area Schools had their music program cut from the curriculum.
After a very emotional school board meeting the members of the board reluctantly cut the music program from their schools from K-12.
This is a great disappointment to the young men and women who practiced daily to enhance their playing skills.
Parents, teachers and the community are trying to come up with a way to bring back the program for the Fall semester. Meanwhile some families are looking to register their children in other local schools who have managed to retain their band program. It is a very discouraging situation which I hope can be resolved soon for our musically talented children.
