What about those whose parents can't afford private lessons and the inspiration of a great teacher at school is all they have?

We ask that you reconsider your decision to redistrict the community and schools, due to the financial deficit that has been in effect over the years.

Unfortunately, due to someones financial error the children will suffer with regards to Performing Arts. Statistics prove that children who participate in performing arts do exceptionally well with their academics. Do not affect the academics of our students by causing this change.

I believe the children are our future.

These prograns are one thing that has consistently been a positive and a draw for MSDLT. Fiscal responsibilty is important, but not at the expense of current of future students, of which I believe we will have significantly less, especially in the upper socio/economic area if these changes take place. Please think of the long term affects of your decisions.

This program NEEDS TO BE A STRONG AREA OF FOCUS for the township!!! In addition, the current school boundaries need to be maintained as it is now in order to keep a strong program at Lawrence Central. Additional focus by the township will make it even stronger and a drawing point for new families.

Similarly for our proximity to Fall Creek Valley. Keeping High School boundaries as is, with FCV feeding into LN, would reunite many middle schoolers with their former elementary school classmates. This would also make the closing of Craig less traumatic for (and better accepted by) the families involved.

Please try to continue to provide these resources to our children in 6th grade.

Students develop and learn discipline, time management, focus, precision, teamwork, goal setting, cultural enrichment, historical context, musical knowledge, technical skill, social connections, how to succeed and fail gracefully and much more. The arts are one of the most efficient ways to enhance our students' education, and imbed these desired outcomes into their lives.

I would suggest that if the programs were compared, the Performing Arts programs are at least, if not more recognized on a national level, the Performing Arts involve more students, and the Performing Arts provide more Scholarship dollars to our seniors. Every effort should be made to maintain these important programs.
