Budget cuts forced the elimination of four teachers from the Essex high school, although principal Tom Evans promises to keep the drama club intact.
Eastern Technical High School Principal Tom Evans said the school will continue to have a drama club next school year even as the school was forced to eliminate its theater department due to budget cuts. Evans said the school is losing four teachers next school year and he was forced to find an area that he could cut. With just enough students to fill two classes next school year, Evans said he couldn’t justify offering theater classes. “Unfortunately, we had to cut from somewhere and the student interest for theater classes just wasn’t there next year,” Evans said. “I support the arts as much as anyone in schools, but times are tough and a decision had to be made. We will find other ways of keeping the drama club open.” Follow Essex-…
