The November 21st CHSPAB meeting will include an agenda item to discuss scholarships for 2019-2020. This topic has been brought up on many occasions, and opinions vary in support of, and against the awarding of and value of scholarships by CHSPAB.
At the heart of the issue are two valid arguments. One side contends that giving scholarships and rewarding individual students for their continuing education is time honored and valuable tradition and serves the public good in support of the arts. On the other hand, some feel that the scholarship money only benefits a few and should instead be directed to support the larger population of those in the performing arts program. This is, of course, a basic overview and there are complexities and nuances to each argument.
Our goal is to have a constructive conversation, have all opinions be heard and considered to reach a result that best represents the group as a whole. The plan is that the November meeting will be just for discussion, and then voting on options will take place at the December meeting. We encourage all of you to attend!
Following is an informal survey. It won’t be driving any decision at the moment. Instead it will only be used to provide some insight and how we might proceed with discussions in the upcoming meeting, as well as to test the viability of using these types of surveys to help make informed decisions. Please take a moment and complete the survey. We welcome your feedback.
