It is the responsibility of the Music Department to determine what music
is selected for the curriculum, including public performances.
Through the appropriate use of music, the instructional needs of
all students may be met both in the classroom and public performance.
Appropriate music may be used in conjunction with special seasons
of the year and holidays. Music
is never used in any way to promote any particular religion or its ideals.
The appropriateness of a particular musical piece chosen by the
teacher for classroom use and/or public performance is determined in
relation to the District Philosophy of Music Education and Selection of
Music. This document can be
provided upon request.

However, the administration and parents must approve all
transportation arrangements.
