This source is from a website that reports any news having to do with the Philadelphia School District and their budget cuts. Beandrea Davos reports that the school district is cutting budgets to the point where the art education is being cut. This is a crucial part of a student’s education though because it gives them downtime from stressful work, which is exactly why it is being cut. It is a belief that art education isn’t important and since the school district is giving little money, it is being cut.
5) Stults, Tim. E-mail Interview. 19 Feb 2013.
This was an interview with the Principal of University City Promise Academy, which is one of tbe 37 Philadelphia public schools scheduled for closing at the end of the 2012-2013 school year. He shared what his point of view on the matter is, as well as what his school is going through with the situation. He is not originally a Philadelphia teach so he did not have much to say about the progression of this problem.
