Dear District Board Member,
Today the families at Crown Point Jr. Music Academy (CPJMA) received some disturbing and disheartening news. Like other District families, we’ve been hearing about looming budget cuts for many weeks, but today we’ve learned the District is pulling funding from the very heart of our school – our Music programs.
In the past weeks we’ve learned budget cuts will cost us our Librarian, School Nurse, and full-time Office Administrator; and we’ve even been told we’ll lose at least one teacher. In spite of all the cuts, and consequent sacrifices our school will have to make, we had been assured our standing as a Music Magnet school was sound, and funding for our Music and Suzuki Violin programs would not be taken away.
Today that changed. This morning we were informed by our Principal, Barbara Boone, the District has chosen not to fund our Music and Suzuki programs, and we’ll also be losing our Magnet Resource Coordinator.
Beyond our identity as a Music Magnet, CPJMA is the very model of a successful school, both in its current state, and in how it got here. Not long ago the District decided Crown Point Elementary was no longer worth running. The school was under-served, under-populated, and under-performing. In an effort to save the school, the Music Magnet program was established – opening opportunities for children all around the District, not just the local neighborhood.

Estimado miembro de la Mesa Directiva del Distrito,
Las familias de Crown Point Jr. Music Academy (CPJMA) recibieron, el día de hoy, noticias preocupantes y descorazonadas. Al igual que otras familias del Distrito, hemos escuchado por muchas semanas sobre inminentes recortes del presupuesto, pero hoy nos hemos enterado que el Distrito dejará de financiar lo que constituye el núcleo de nuestra escuela, nuestros programas de música.
En las semanas que han pasado, nos hemos enterado de que los recortes del presupuesto nos quitarán a nuestro bibliotecario(a), enfermero(a) y administrador(a) de oficina de tiempo completo. Además, nos han dicho que perderemos, por lo menos, un maestro. A pesar de todos los recortes y sacrificios consecuentes que nuestra escuela tendrá que hacer, nos habían asegurado que nuestra posición como escuela Magnet con programa de música era sólida, y que no quitarían el financiamiento para nuestros programas de música y de Susuki en violín.
Hoy eso cambió. Esta mañana nuestra directora Bárbara Boone nos informó que el Distrito ha decidido no financiar nuestros programas de música y de Susuki, y que además, perderemos a nuestro coordinador de recursos del programa Magnet.
Más allá de nuestra identidad como escuela Magnet de música, CPJMA es el mejor modelo de una escuela exitosa tanto en su estado actual como en la forma en que llegó a él. Hace no mucho tiempo, el Distrito decidió que la escuela Crown Point Elementary no valía la pena que continuara. La escuela no contaba con suficientes servicios, tenía pocos alumnos y bajo rendimiento. En un esfuerzo por salvar la escuela, el programa Magnet de música fue establecido, abriendo oportunidades para los niños no solo de la localidad sino de todo el Distrito.
