"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."
― Oprah Winfrey
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM WPSBA
WE'VE BEEN PREPARING FOR 2020
IF YOU'RE SEEKING TO START THE NEW YEAR ORGANIZED, take one moment and add these upcoming programs to your calendar:
MUSIC PROGRAMS ARE WIDELY EMBRACED BY DISTRICTS OF ALL INCOME LEVELS
OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS, MANY DISTRICTS, including low income schools, have boosted their music education programming. At the forefront of this movement is an increase in the percentage of teachers who specialize in art or music instruction. Although the music itself becomes a passion for many students, often it is the relationships formed through music programs that have the biggest impact on student musicians.
IT'S TIME TO START FOCUSING ON 2020 ADVOCACY PRIORITIES
IT'S OUR JOB TO CONVINCE NYS LEGISLATORS which public ed issues are most critical. Specifically we are looking for support for school funding that is adequate, equitable and predictable, and for increased local flexibility. The LHEC 2020 Advocacy Agenda dissects our concerns and specifies some potential solutions.
CENSUS 2020 COUNTS
Census data determines the distribution of about $13.6 billion for the National School Lunch Program.
We will miss your company for the next two weeks while we celebrate the holidays...
