Who says the newsroom does not contribute to revenue?
Did you happen to notice the full page ad in the newspaper on Sunday.
It was placed by the Save Upper Darby Arts group urging citizens to attend tonight’s school board meeting.
Of course when they placed the ad, the cuts announced by the board, along with a tax hike and elimination of lots of teaching positions were still on the table.
That changed over the weekend.
As we reported first on Sunday, the powers that be in Harrisburg, in particular state Rep. Nick Micozzie, R-163, have been looking for ways to restore the funding that will allow the district to rescind elimination of specialized classes in arts and music at the elementary level, tech and language for middle schoolers.
Even though all the i’s will not be dotted, nor all the t’s crossed, that is likely what is going to happen at tonight’s meeting.
Here is the latest update.
You have to give the group credit. They mobilized the day after the cuts were announced and never stopped until they got what they wanted.
There are still some questions, but it appears they have been successful.
Stay tuned to DelcoTimes.com for the latest updates on this story tonight, and then come back Wednesday night at 7. We’re planning another special ‘Live From the Newsroom’ show with some of the parents who have been so successful in pushing for these actions.
Join us Wednesday night at 7. Take part in the conversation. Get engaged in your community. You never know what you can accomplish. Just ask these Upper Darby parents.
