Subject: [DHS-Orchestras] Last call for ballots!!

Deadline for Measure A ballots is April 30 if you're returning by mail.  Or by  May 3rd if you physically drop your ballot in the ballot box at the Davis Public Library or at the County Elections Office in Woodland.

If you haven't yet turned in your ballot and plan to, then it is in an envelope that looks like this:

The current proposed school budget for the 2011-12 school year calls for reducing the JH music program by about 11 classes, or about half of the JH music program.  This would come about by reducing the 7th and 8th grade schedule to 6 periods.  It likely means that not all 7th and 8th graders would be accommodated in the music program as has happened in the past.

If Measure A passes, its funds would secure 7th period for 7th and 8th grade (including the music classes) for the two years of its duration.

There are cuts to other programs proposed in the current draft budget that may also be funded if Measure A passes.  Here is some further information about Measure A:

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Thanks for your consideration,
Hiram Jackson
President DSOMA
