Dear Friends, Parents and Supporters of New Song,
In an effort to put pressure on the mayor and the school board for adequate funding, we are asking that you send the following statement:
If BCPSS can not sustain success, then their only purpose is to sustain failure. Where is the hope for our children? Fund New Song Academy!

Mayor Martin O'Malley mayor@baltimorecity.gov
Anirban Basu abasu@sagepolicy.com
James W. Campbell jcamp@jhu.edu
Douglas R. Kington doug@kingtoncommercial.com

George M. VanHook, Sr gvanhook@dhr.state.md.us
Diane L. Bell fax number: 410.783.0526
Please consider sending this email to anyone else who supports excellence in public education.

Thank you for your support!

this is the response i recieved from k. hettleman:
Thank you for your email. I appreciate the good work done by the New Song community, but the bottom line is that the school system does not have the funds to replace funding from private donors and foundations. If I recall correctly, New Song was strictly a private school until it turned to BCPSS for funding as a "New School." We certainly can't treat New Song differently
than other schools.
Moreover I believe that despite your good intentions, the New Song community
is doing all the schools a disservice by placing the blame on BCPSS, rather than the inadequate funding that affects all schools.
Thank you again for your interest.
argh!
as far as i am concerned,
he isn't really thankful for our interest.
