Hmm... I guess I should elaborate on the current situation with the school district.
At the moment (thanks to a wonderful bill preventing public schools from accumulating debt) the CCSD has to cut about $125 million from the budget within the next two years. It's not that they have the $125 million to spend... just that the money is technically none-existant.
And this problem has been progressing for quite some time. Just this past summer organized sports for middle schools was more or less written off.
Now it's happening to the highschools.
The CCSD is staging several conferences where members of the community come in and voice their opinions about what should be done. That's all fine and dandy... if only Vegas had a lower asshole population.
During the last conference, a parent spoke out against all music and arts because it didn't belong in public education. (Naturally, said parent was all for keeping the sports program running)
Grrr.
What really scares me is what's on the ballot: one of the options is to cut funding and remove all art from every school. In otherwords, LVA will be gone.
This is the issue which is currently racking my mind. Moreso than the upcoming major tests... or the ACT test I forgot to register for. Shit, I just remembered that one.
Things are looking peachy-keen, gov'na.
