Subcommittee Community Arts Advisory Council Report to the HSD School Board on June 2 at 6 p.m.
Mark your calendars: For the first time since 1992, Highline School District's newly formed Arts Advisory Council in Burien, WA will be presenting a Fine Arts report to the school board, at a special Work Study session on Wednesday, June 2 at 6:00 PM at ERAC (district administrative headquarters), located at 15675-Ambaum Blvd SW in Burien (across the street from Azteca and next to the bowling alley).

For interested readers, a bit of history might be helpful here. The current Fine Arts report is the culmination of the ongoing work and efforts of school district arts staff and community stakeholders over the past several years, ever since the radical decline of arts and music programs began in 2003.
In the HSD, the last time a similar report was issued was back in 1992 when Kent Matheson was superintendent. Then, in the spring of 1992, a Fine Arts Committee consisting of 22 people was charged to "develop a set of goals and recommendations to establish a direction for Highline's Fine Arts Program for the next 5-7 years."
