Students and community members showed up in force to the April 12th Rochester School Board meeting to oppose the proposed 2011-2012 budget which would cut 908 teaching positions district-wide and further defund arts education.
School of the Arts students organized a march from the liberty pole to central office. The loud and energetic march met with lots of support from the onlookers downtown.
At the school board meeting, approximately 100 students, teachers, parents, community members and activists articulated reasons why the Brizzard's Budget is unacceptable.
