They may share the following important key points:

1. Research supports that the study of music and the arts leads to higher level thinking, the development of intellectual skills, perseverence, initiative, and the pursuit of excellence in students.

2. Moanalua High School has the largest high school music program in the Hawaii public schools (over five hundred students) and it does not have an auditorium.

3. The music program at Moanalua High School is exemplary and the quality of the program directly affects student achievement of students in all other areas.

4 The Moanalua High School Music Program is still growing - there is an urgent need for more facilities.

5. No high school in the Central District has an auditorium - building an auditorium at Moanalua High School would support the needs of the Central District.

6. There are legitimate safety and fire code concerns about the large and over flowing crowds when the school has to rent other far away facilities.

7. An auditorium facility at Moanalua High School would be used by the school community for important community activities and events.

8. Other reasons that you may want to include.

Thank you!
