Professors say exercise, music programs are imperative to children's education SAN FRANCISCO, March 24, 2004 -- San Francisco State University offers several faculty experts who can offer knowledgeable perspectives on issues surrounding cuts to sports, physical education and music programs in K-12 schools. Earlier this month, the school board of the West Contra Costa County School District approved a plan to cut $16.5 million from its budget by ending sports programs at six high schools, closing all libraries and eliminating music programs in 39 elementary schools. No schools will have guidance counselors, and 20 elementary schools will have to share their principals.
