Kent School District parents and teachers told the Kent School Board Tuesday night to save elementary music and physical education programs and find somewhere else to cut the 2011-2012 budget by $6 million.
Speaker after speaker at the Community Budget Session and Public Hearing at the Kentwood High School gym objected to district proposals to cut the elementary school physical education program for a savings of $2.48 million and the elimination of elementary school music programs for a savings of about $3.8 million.
