Perspective

Dear Band and Orchestra Directors, Music Parents America is a how-to guide for your school music booster program. As you are well aware, booster organizations are the backbone of many strong music programs and their members are in constant need of information and services that help them make informed decisions. We have selected several key areas of parental involvement ranging from summer camps to fundraising and travel that will make them more aware of the opportunities afforded to the school music program.

Booster organizations are the backbone of many strong music programs.

You will also find MPA a valuable resource when seeking bids for uniforms and footwear or exploring new festival opportunities. After reviewing this guide, we ask that you pass it along to a key booster member.

UpFrontQ&A: Scott McCormick

Introducing

AMP

the National Association for Music Parents

W

hile many professional associations exist to serve educators, and

there are a ton of resources for music students, one key segment that is often left out is the parents of those students involved in their school music programs. Enter L. Scott McCormick, former president and CEO of Bands of America, with his new venture, AMP – the Association of Music Parents, which is just beginning to gather steam.

Scott recently stopped by the SBO offices to chat about his plans for this new organization and how it fits into the music education sphere.

School Band & Orchestra: Where did the idea for a National Association for Music Parents come from?

Scott McCormick: When I was with Bands of America, one of the questions on my mind constantly was, “How do we connect the parents with what we’re doing?” We didn’t have the resources to develop that connection as deeply as we wanted to, so after leaving, I felt like I was being led in that direction.

She with class load and everything else that said, “Of all the people that have come it’s not always a high priority for them, through our doors looking for grant either. money forto talk about music and the arts as it relates to education, you’re SBO: How do you plan to reach the one of the few people who can really arparents, then? ticulate why we would should support SM: What I saw as a key place to that.” She encouraged me to look into start that conversation was through the the education reform movement.

SBO: What is the pertinent information that music educators need to know about this organization?

SM: I believe, from the years of working with thousands of educators, AMP – The Association of Music Parents will be a resource that helps them be more successful at their first job, that of teaching our kids. We believe that AMP can be a vital portal for individual parents, parent organizations and booster groups alike, providing them with valuable information, best practice sharing and a place to build a community that strengthens our music programs and our society.

The other major key is that while I observe many educators shy away from the word or concept of advocacy, it is imperative they be advocating for their music and the other arts as a part of their regular agenda.

If parents can step up, provided they have the right information, and do much of this for them, it becomes a win-win. I have heard too many teachers say, “We don’t need to do advocacy, our program is safe.” That may be the case today, but by the time you realize that it is not safe, it is often too late. Be proactive!

SBO: Any additional thoughts?

SM: I would just encourage the teachers reading this to pass this article on to a passionate parent and let them take it from there. The cost for an individual to join is $12 per household per year, a dollar a month, and parent/booster groups can join at significant discounts. AMP also has a huge presence on Facebook and I encourage readers of this publication to join the conversation there also.

Every program out there has something to offer to another and AMP is a platform for that sharing to occur.

It’s time to get plugged in and turn up the volume.

The Parent

Trap

By BoB Morrison

T

here is an emerging trend in music education funding that I call, “The Parent Trap.” Up until recently, it had

been isolated to California’s Redwood City, Concord, and dozens of other communities.

Unfortunately, it is now started to pop up in school districts across the country.

To illustrate this point, here is an actual email I recently received: “I am a parent in a N.Y. school district, and although I no longer have anyone in the elementary school, I am worried. Our school’s budget recently failed and cut from the school program was our music program in our Elementary schools. Our Board of Ed says that if we can raise $170,000 in donations, grants or scholarships we will be able to restore our elementary music program.”

Do you see what just happened? In a two-step move the school district has now shifted the responsibility to fund a core subject, music, from the school board to the parents. This is “The Parent Trap.” More and more parents and concerned citizens, with the good intentions of trying to keep their music programs alive, are falling for it.

However, the minute a school district is able to shift the responsibility to fund a program from the district to the parents, they will never take it back!

Music Parents America, Fall 2011

If You Don’t Pass This Budget, We’ll Kill this Music Program

The Parent Trap really is a two-step process.

First, using nearly the same strategy as highlighted in the January 1973 cover of National Lampoon, “If You Don’t Buy This Magazine, We’ll Kill This Dog,” school administrators will bundle a popular program (in this case music) with other less popular budget items in a referendum in order to get the budget passed. The veiled and unstated threat is “If You Don’t Pass This Budget, We’ll Kill This Music Program.” It is interesting to note that we have never seen any other core subject placed on a budget referendum… ever!

By placing the music program into a budget referendum, the school system has now absolved themselves of their responsibility to fund music. If the budget passes, they get the money for all of their other programs and the music program stays. If it fails, the school administration now has the “cover” to kill the program by saying this is what the community chose. This is a false assumption –it is not the music program that people are opposed to: people are opposed to more taxes.

If You Want It So Badly…

YOU Pay for It!

So, what happens when the budget fails? School officials will show how disappointed they are when the budget fails.

They will say how much they support the music program (yet, if they really supported music they would not have put it out on the budget limb in the first place). Then, with

a simple suggestion, comes step two in our trap: “If you can raise the (insert budget amount here) from the community we will put the music program back.”

The trap has now been successfully executed. Not only has the school administration passed the buck by pointing to the budget failure as “a community decision” to cut the music program… they have now fully shifted the burden to funding the program, or not, to the parents and concerned citizens in the community.

Parents, already deeply disappointed by the loss of the music program, and out of a natural desire to provide this valuable educational experience for their children, jump at this chance for a solution. They organize, create community foundations, do fundraising and attempt to keep the music program as an initiative funded by donations.

While this may solve the immediate problem for the parents, it is not a viable long-term solution for the program.

Having the music program (a core subject under federal law and education policy in many states) now solely funded based on the community’s ability to fundraise will, in most cases, lead to the eventual loss of the entire program.

The school system no longer has a stake in the program. It is now community funded. It is not the school district’s problem anymore!

Avoiding The Trap

Is there a way to avoid the trap? Absolutely. Here’s how: 1. Monitor Your School Budget Process – Assign someone from the community (it should not be the music teacher – preferably a parent) to attend the school board meetings to monitor the budget process. Many people do not follow the budget process until a budget is presented to the public. Many of the decisions impacting the budget are made during school board meetings months in advance (starting now!). Having someone at these meetings provides an “early warning” system in case there are budget problems that could put the music program at risk.

2. Get Organized – Gather a group of concerned parents to always be on

alert to help support the program.

6. When All Else Fails Try to Pass This is key. Have this group set-up the Budget – So you did your best an email communication system to but music ended up on the budget keep people informed. Being proreferendum chopping block. Your active in the budget process and in next option… try to pass the budsupport of the music program is a get.

ity: providing educational instruction for our children in all core subjects.

This also lets the community know that this is a short-term problem with a long-term solution. This is critical to the overall viability of the music program.

A final note: In one school district in California, the parents had been paying for the entire band program (teacher and all) through the local community foundation. One day the superintendent told the parents they could no longer pay for the music program. The parents were forced to turn over any funds raised for music to the superintendent.

His reasoning? “I am responsible for setting the educational priorities of our district. I should be able to spend these funds to support my priorities. Music is not one of them.”

So, the program is now gone, the parents are out all the money they raised, and the children are denied the benefits of being involved with music.

This is a lose-lose-lose situation if ever there was one, and the children are the ones who lose the most.

When we allow our school districts to absolve themselves of providing music education as a core subject for all of our children, Nothing Good Ever Happens.

Do not let the Parent Trap happen to you!

Your supporters are tiring of it, too. There’s an easier way.

Everybody loves flowers! Selling guaranteed-to-grow flower bulbs is a real breath of fresh air for you and your customers.

Devoted to flower bulb fundraising since 1960, we’ve combined almost 50 years of experience with customer feedback to fine-tune our spring and fall programs. Our guaranteed bulbs and plants are an easy sell—they’re priced the same, so tabulating your order and calculating your significant profit is a snap. So what are you waiting for?
