Resident urges additional band staffing and raises classroom AC concerns
Summary
A Cedar Hill parent urged the board to add a second band teacher at Cedar Hill Collegiate (program now serving 140 students) per a previously stated threshold and reported two classrooms without functioning air conditioning.
Janet McCourtes addressed trustees during public comment to applaud growth in the district band program and to press the board to revisit a staffing commitment. She said the band now serves about 140 students at Cedar Hill Collegiate and recalled that the district previously agreed to add a teacher once enrollment reached 125; currently one teacher covers grades six through 12 across multiple sections.
McCourtes also reported that two classrooms lacked functioning air conditioning and asked whether campus maintenance follows a protocol or checklist to ensure systems are serviceable before each school year. Trustees thanked her and acknowledged the staffing and facilities concerns; staff indicated they will follow up.
