As Garfield undertakes its search for a new orchestral director, we wanted to give families who were unable to attend this month’s FOGM meeting the opportunity to share their thoughts, concerns, and priorities about the hiring process and music program. We’ll summarize your responses to the directors and Dr. Hart in an anonymized form, using your name and contact information only if we need to reach back out to you ourselves. Parents are also welcome to provide input about the hiring process to Dr. Hart, or to reach out to Mr. Sessink directly, if preferred. –Kara and Brad, FOGM co-presidents
