I had the opportunity to meet one of the main proponents in the Santa Ana Unified community, Herman Mendez, the Assistant Superintendent of the entire district. We sat down and discussed the reasons for the financial burdens on the district and the need for a solution. Santa Ana's music department is almost entirely funded from donations and third party assistance, due to the fact that music is not a part of the required curriculum. Mr. Mendez also mentioned the neighboring community of Irvine, and some of the solutions they've embarked upon to raise money for art education. Due to poverty, Santa Ana has quite a few less resources.
