Parents’ Appeal To School Board; Overrides Todt Denial O f M arching Band Florida Trip
923-9207 Price 20*
Angry parents and students rallied in sup- port o f Hillside high school ’s marching band program during Monday evening’s regular meeting o f the Board of Education at the Administration Building. In reaction to the decision o f high school Principal W illiam Todt, Who denied a formal proposal by Band Instructor Howard Ellis for the Marching Comets to attend a >band competition in Florida, members of the Band P aren ts’ Association acted as the vojee o f their children and brought their grievance to the Board.
Tjhe'' parents not only supported the the band’s right to attend the competition, but also expressed confidence in M r / Ellis while speaking critically about M r. Todt’s alleged antipathy towards Ellis and* the marching band.. *..
Apparently, Todt wrote a memo to Ellis that not only questioned the Band Director’s responsibility level and ability to control his charges during the proposed trip, but' also
( slighted band members by suggesting that the ensemble was not o f a competitive caliber. Students at the meeting were particularly vocal in support o f Mr. Ellis, who reportedly has no history o f discipline problems in his classes or on the rOad with the marching unit. Band members Andrea Johnson, Luciana Ses-
: The Year In Reviewsioh in d Rachman MuhaTnmed expressed frustration at Todt’sdecision, saying they had waited: for a.long time to make the Jtrip and that the band deserved the opportunity to go tin Florida.
Mrs. Muhammed, Rachman’s mother voiced her vote of confidence in the Band Director. “ M r. Ellis is not only a band teacher: he is a teacher truly concerned about his; students.’’
The Board was sympathetic tp the concerns of the parents and students. D enn is Kobitz said he saw no reason why the band shouldn’t be allowed to make the trip ; John Ferro said he feltihe idea was a ‘‘worthwhile trip " and commented on the professional quality Of Mr. Ellis’ proposal. Board President Yolanda Sari- sone thanked the band parents fo r * ‘showing an active concern in their children’s behalf."
Robert Jones said, “ After examining the letter o f the proposal as Well as M r. Todt’s letter, 1 see no problems with this trip. I move that die. Board pass approval for this trip .’’’
The Board voted unanimously to approve the proposal for the trip, providing that the acceptance date for the competition has not passed. ' - j .
After the meeting, [several parents spoke about the^ntipathy they have noticed on the
part o f Todt toward Ellis. One parent suggested that the ill feeling held by the Principal for the Band Director resulted in T odt's unfair punishing o f the band members by denying the proposed trip.
Actions by the principal thi$ year havcio- deed indicated a negative feeling towards,ate Band Director : Todt did not permit the band to play at Graduation, 1988, ostensibly
because Ejli$ and his charges arrived late, althsilgh the band was assembled in plenty o f time to m ake ready for the commencement . 'Interestingly enough, a sound system and recorded m u sk was set up, and apparently not as:a last-second measure.
Furthermoon, Ellis received an unfavorable job evaluation by Todt during the 1987-88
