Dear Community Members:
I remain gravely concerned about the callous decision of the Ada Board
of Education to endorse the elimination of one of the school’s most highly
acclaimed extracurricular programs, over the strenuous objection of 32
citizens at the November 2019 School Board meeting.
Ada High School Winter Guard was effectively abolished last August, unbeknownst to the Ada Music Boosters, students, parents, and the wider Ada community.
