    • District funds $2000 each year (for both fall & spring shows).

Also – continuing this year:  System for Accountability.  Because we always strive to build and maintain a strong program all year long – we have approached this year with the entire program in mind, all year long.  We need to ensure that the workload is shared equally, and that we continue to manage our finances well, as we are more responsible for the productions costs & licensing each year.
