 After much debate, the music program may continue at LePort Public School. Our Josh Peterson shows us how a community effort is underway to find a solution to keep the music playing. After planning to cut the music program out of its curriculum, the LePort School District is going to face the music and rescind their original proposal. The community grassroots effort has created a new opportunity in LePort to keep the music going. We'll be rescinding the resolution as a resolution to discontinue the music program and one full-time teaching equivalent. One reason the school originally proposed to cut the music program was because of declining enrollment in music classes. But now with the music program likely to stay in place, the school board will turn to the community for input. Community members have been meeting and what the message they've been given to us is they want an opportunity to work with the school and the board to come up with a music program that can be successful for LePort. Community members say one of the reasons they wanted to keep the music going was because of music teacher Louise Bass and the positive impact she left on so many students. So many parents are grateful for her. The alumna and I love her and the community just loves her in general and we know she's done a good job. Sandra, like many LePort music alumni, are hopeful that an agreement can be reached to continue the music and help it reach a crescendo. We need to figure out as a community and with the school board to build this so it can be enjoyable for everyone. For a community that shows its school spirit everywhere you look, the town of LePort hopes the music will be heard for years to come. In LePort, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News.
