Keep Music in Atlanta Schools
Atlanta Public Schools plans to have 10 fewer band teaching positions and eight fewer orchestra teaching positions at elementary schools when students return in August. Some APS band and orchestra teachers work at more than one school.
The decision means students at some schools will likely return to class in August without the programs.
APS spokesperson James Malone said early Tuesday afternoon it is not yet clear which schools will lose programs.

Why is this important?
The music and arts educational programs are of very important cultural significance! Every child should have the opportunity to bring forth the song in their soul, the skill in their minds and their hands, and the passion in their heart!
