A
A
I
would
argue,
especially
in
light
of
recent
research
by
the
public
interest
law
center
of
Philadelphia
on
the
matter
of
school
funding
sources
where
the
state
provides
34
percent,
the
city,
almost
60
percent,
that
City
Council
and
the
mayor
to
have
both
the
right
to
know
and
the
responsibility
to
direct
Cal
funds
are
allocating
in
the
matter
of
school
libraries
and
instrumental
music.
For
example.
A
We
as
a
Metropolitan
Community,
determined
to
provide
high
quality
education
for
every
student,
could
and
should
insist
that
these
resources
be
provided
in
every
school,
not
as
part
of
a
list
of
options
determined
by
the
principal
I
attached
here.
Two
articles,
one
written
by
me
about
libraries
several
years
ago
and
one
appearing
in
news
works
today
about
instrumental
music
and
I.
A
Booker
row
violinist
in
the
Philadelphia,
Orchestra
and
so
on,
so
we
don't
really
know
where
the
counted
children
will
be.
There
could
be
absolutely
any
school
and
it's
also
part
of
what
gives
you
joy
in
life,
and
so
the
the
piece
and
news
works
today
talked
about
the
racial
makeup
of
schools
and
your.
If
there
are
more
black
students,
you're
less
likely
to
have
music
instrumental
music,
so
in
nineteen
yeah
Roosevelt
jr.
high
in
the
fifty-eight
I
got
a
bassoon
and
still
playing
fifty
years
later,.
