PPS approves pay for band directors during football games

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — At least one Portland public high school band says it will perform at a football game on Friday night.

The board for Portland Public Schools just approved pay for band directors for hours spent outside the classroom, like during Friday night games.

Earlier this month, band directors from Cleveland, Franklin, Grant, Jefferson, Lincoln and Ida B. Wells initially said they made the decision not to perform at games after repeated failed attempts at clarifying the language in their employment contracts.

“My band’s ready to go right now,” said Chris McCurdy.

It’s unclear if other Portland school bands will follow suit for this Friday.
