May 6, 2010 · In January, student and faculty at the Northeast School of the Arts got some somber news. Officials with the Northeast Independent School District announced that because of a budget shortfall, they could no longer fully fund the popular arts magnet program. Supporters of the school have responded by creating the NESA fund – an endowment they hope will make the school financially sound. TPR’s Terry Gildea sat down with NESA teacher David Connelly to talk about the school and its upcoming fundraisers.
