Sesser Valier considers adding vocal music to high school
The Sesser Valier Community Unit School District 196 took no action on PRIME Parents Really Interested in Music Education plan to add vocal music at the high school. Board President James Whitecotton said he may bring the item to others unofficially before the April 5 meeting. He noted money is a major concern as state aid could drop about 99000 if Gov. Thompson withholds funds. A 500-signature petition supported adding vocal music, with 39 freshmen and sophomores also expressing interest.
