Editor's note: The following letter was sent to members of the Edmonds School Board. It is being republished here at the author's request. Dear Board Members: I am writing to support retention of a full program of music education in the Edmonds School District. As a 31-year music educator in the district (mostly as band director at Woodway and Edmonds-Woodway High Schools), I witnessed and participated in one of the finest all-around music programs in the state. Not only were there many fine musicians and music educators who were products of the system, but the strong music programs clearly were the reason many students stayed in school.
