KMTA Health and Safety Policy

Kitsap Music Teachers Association will follow the current guidance of our public health agencies and our parent organizations WSMTA and MTNA when holding public events. KMTA does not make such decisions for our individual member-teachers.
If any one of the Kitsap County school districts cancels classes or extracurricular activities due to public health risk or weather emergencies, KMTA will also cancel multi-studio educational events and sponsored recitals, wherever they are being held in the county. Events may be rescheduled, or provided via alternate platforms.
