RCS BOARD MEMBERS EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR MUSIC, ARTS AMID RIF DISCUSSIONS

(Richmond, IN)--Here’s more on the Richmond Community School Board meeting from Tuesday night.  An announcement was made more public last month that RCS was proposing a reduction in force of 22 positions and many people expressed concern that music and the arts would be affected.  Clearly, Tuesday night, Board members expressed a desire to find other solutions.  Here are some of them:  Kristen Brunton:  "Cuts need to start at the administrative level.".  Nicole Stults:  "I am of the strong opinion that we should explore alternative solutions."  And, Aaron Stevens:  "Don't touch the arts."  No action was taken Tuesday night.  Nearly three dozen people signed up to address the Board.
