Parents and students urge board to protect music programs
Summary
Multiple community members from Milwaukie and neighboring areas told the North Clackamas SD 12 board they value music programs and urged continued support for arts education.
Several residents addressed the North Clackamas SD 12 Board during the public-comment period to urge continued support for school music programs.
Speakers from Milwaukie, including Rylee Pinette, Reylee Engberg, Kate Schenk, Taylor Arko, Erika Lockwood, Andrea Schenk and Brandie Wirkkala, described the importance of music education for students and asked the board to prioritize those programs in budgeting and school planning. The minutes record repeated appeals for attention to arts programming during the April 9 meeting.
The public comments were part of a larger set of community remarks that also included school safety concerns. The board did not take immediate action on music-program requests at the April 9 meeting; follow-up would depend on budget decisions and program planning in coming meetings.
