Education Web Sites April 24 , 2007--The Superintendent of Public Instruction, Jack O’Connell, announced today that letters have been sent to County Superintendents, Auditors, and Treasurers, notifying them of the first apportionment of funds for visual and performing arts and physical education, to be used solely for equipment, supplies, and professional development. The estimated entitlements are based on a rate of $83.04 per student in K-12, with a minimum funding of $2,500 per school site. The amount paid in this apportionment will reflect 75% of the total entitlement. The remaining funds will be allocated in June 2007. There is no deadline on the expenditure of these funds and therefore funds may be carried over to a future fiscal year. School districts are encouraged to bring together teachers, school site administrators, district level administrators, parents, and students to collaborate on assessing needs and developing a local plan that will support high quality instruction in both physical education and visual and performing arts. In a statement released by his office, O’Connell said, "These grants will help provide our schools with resources to implement standards-based instruction in physical education and visual and performing arts. With these funds, teachers can expand their content knowledge and teaching skills in physical education and visual and performing arts through professional development, and students can benefit from enhanced equipment and supplies that increase the quality of learning experiences."
