I just found out that Indiana just cut all summer program funding for the entire state.

I just found that my kid's marching band program this summer was cancelled for the first time ever in the 60 years that their school has had a marching band. In fact they have canceled all summer programs except those dedicated to students that need help passing standardized testing.

I'm absolutely livid. My kid is devastated. They have been looking forward to marching band since it ended last summer and they just got absolutely rug pulled.

While I am definitely ranting a bit, I'm not just screaming into the abyss here. I am wondering if the state education department is a place I can direct other outraged parents to lodge complaints or if there's a better avenue to vent our frustrations. Not that I expect anything to be done about it, but the squeaky wheel does occasionally get the grease.
