Our schools are currently being funded at the lowest level in 20 years, and it's literally breaking the system. Cuts to music programs are not on the docket this year, but Fairbanks admin has already indicated they are willing to pursue cuts to elementary general music, PE, and library programs next year if state-funding remains flat.
