VAPA DAC

The charge of the Visual & Performing Arts DAC shall be to:

  • Serve as a vehicle for parents, community, teachers, and students to communicate with the Board of Education on matters related to all students' equitable access to and successful participation in comprehensive, sequential, standards-based PreK-12 Arts Education. A comprehensive arts education program, with the arts taught as discrete disciplines, should be an integral part of the core curriculum offered to all students at all grade levels.

  • Assess our current Visual and Performing Arts programs (Dance, Music, Theatre, and Visual arts).

  • Compare the District's curriculum scheduling, staffing, instructional materials, equipment, and facilities with national and state standards and frameworks.

  • Work with various agencies to explore funding to support the Visual and Performing Arts programs.
