  1. This was just posted on our band's facebook page- but it is important for all of texas. As always... read the bill and decide for yourself, but I do believe this could have detrimental effects down the line with funding to the fine arts programs. Parents, Teachers & Supporters of Fine Arts in Texas!! **This is an URGENT CALL TO ACTION** We have learned that the Texas State legislature will be voting on BILL HB434 **tomorrow (Tuesday)** which can effectively remove the requirement for schools to require a Fine Arts credit for graduation. This would be catastrophic for fine arts programs in CISD and across the state of Texas. Urgent! We need all parents, teachers, and supporters of Fine Arts to email and/or call to voice their opinions ASAP since the legislative session begins Tuesday. Bill HB 434 would effectively not make a Fine Art credit a requirement for HS graduation (by alllowing substitutions). Removing this requirement insinuates further issues for support in terms of funding, staffing, everything... Every student should have the opportunity to benefit from a fine arts course! Please help us by communicating with your legislators about why this is a bad idea. If you use the link below, there is already a pre written email to send. It takes less than a minute. The video linked below is a call-to-action for parents, boosters, etc. SEND AN EMAIL (pre-written): https://oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/.../10950 Call-to-action: https://drive.google.com/.../1QTcGlt9pLf2cKQrZ.../view... Read the bill: https://capitol.texas.gov/.../87R/billtext/pdf/HB00434I.pdf

  2. Agreed! That good staff includes Fort Bend Clements director Daniel Galloway leading this new program and assisted by my daughter, Lauren Batchelor (proud Dad here).... ..... plus Meredith Owen (guard) and Ethan Ahmad (percussion). Excited to see this group in the years to come.
