We've just found out that the Toronto District School Board is slashing the Itinerant Music Program ( Band, Strings, Orff, Vocal, Recorder, Steel Pan Drums) before the Trustees are informed or able to vote on this drastic change of policy.
To save a tiny portion of their budget, they are planning to drastically reduce the quality of music education for students by laying off the expert music educators. It's outrageous and shortsighted.
Earl Beatty uses these programs each year, and we will miss them terribly if they are taken away.
It only takes a minute to sign the petition below, and your support will make a difference.
