 Social media has lit up over recent decision made by the LaPorte School Board to eliminate the school's music program at the end of the school year. The curriculum committee cites years of declining participation in the music program to address concerns about the lack of a music curriculum. The district has approved the creation of a rhythm and motion educator for pre-K and kindergarten students. Elementary teachers will then integrate music curriculum into their classroom. There is a push though from pushback from students, parents and alumni who are extremely upset about the music cuts. Two meetings have been scheduled for Thursday, April 19th at 6 30 p.m. and Friday, April 20th at 9 a.m. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
