Due to insufficient funds at the high school, the school
board has decided that all music classes including all after school music
activities, such as: show choir, pep band and marching band will be cut from
the budget as of June 3 this year.
“The state just cannot give out anymore loans to
Southeast Polk,” said Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley “In the past year alone we’ve
paid for: a new football field, new
scoreboard for the field, and new equipment for the wrestling team. We are done
lending money.”
Along with the cutting of the music programs the
directors for the programs will be out of a job.
“The cutting of the music programs will help Southeast
Polk pay back some of their debts to the state and will help them put more
money into better equipment and facilities for the sports programs and a new
extension on the school to provide more space for classes, students and a
secondary gymnasium,” said Senator Grassley
The music rooms will be changed to a lounge for seniors
during free periods during the day and the practice rooms will be turned into
storage for the drama department.
