The war between parents and Upper Darby schools continues unabated.
Yesterday the school district posted a graphic on their website to demonstrate their intentions when it comes to the controversial changes in the arts in district schools.
They have a long list of what is being preserved, and just two items that on the list to be changed. Those are the so-called specials, elementary school general music and elementary school general art.
That graphic did not go unnoticed.
The grassroots group Save Upper Darby Arts quickly created a graphic of their own.
It tells a slightly different story.
I've included a copy of it with this blog item. It tells you how big the gulf is between the two sides.
All of this is merely prelude to next week’s big public hearing on the school budget plan on Wednesday night.
Both sides look like they’re girding for battle.

The real problem here is that smug administrators like Dan McGarry want to lie through their teeth about everything. No separate art and music classes..........no big deal we'll take away the classroom teachers planning time to do those classes. Those art and music teachers don't do any work anyway, right?
The total lack of acknowledgement of how horrible of an educational move this is on the part of the UDSD administration is a sick joke. Selling this type of shameful move as anything other than the unavoidable educational disaster that it is leaves people like Dan McGarry with zero credibility.
