		<description>Hello,
    Due to budget constraints my school district has cut our visual arts program at our high school. Where we once had a full time high school teacher and a 60% position at the elementary school I will now be teaching K-12. The district says the new position is 100% but my union is telling them the position is 127%. My question is how many schools in Vermont have cut their art programs? Are there groups available to help in the fight to return arts programs to schools?
Thanks.</description>
