TROY — Troy School District music educators are celebrating another big victory this year, despite several changes the department has made in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The district has been named a 2021 Best Community for Music Education by the National Association of Music Merchants and the Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas. This is the district’s 14th consecutive year receiving the recognition.
“I think it says a lot for the community of Troy. It says a lot (about) how the administration and the Board of Education support arts in the Troy School District,” Troy School District Elementary Music Department Coordinator Rosanne Thomas said. “They’re giving us time with students. They’re giving us funding. They’re supporting us in every way around. Every consideration, we’re always in the room helping to make those decisions and helping give input so our perspective is heard and respected.”
