Approve the agreement with the Broward Cultural Council and funding in the amount of $20,000.
The School Board of Broward County, Florida and the Broward Cultural Council have previously worked as partners to provide cultural, artistic and educational services to schools, students and teachers. Under this agreement, each party will contribute $20,000 to fund artistic residency programs for schools and professional development workshops. The total artistic funding under this agreement is $40,000. The term of the agreement is August 1, 2012, through July 26, 2013. The agreement will provide the following services: artistic residencies in public schools and professional development workshops for educators.
Approximately $15,000 will be allocated to fund artist in residency projects. Funding will support three residency projects in the amount of $5,000 each. All Broward County Public Schools are eligible to apply for residency projects. Projects shall focus on integrating the arts into language arts and reading. Artists selected for residencies must be a participant in Broward County's Arts Education Directory Program administered by the Broward Cultural Council. The residency projects will provide arts experiences to students and teachers that offer an opportunity to understand the creative process and value of art disciplines. By working side by side with professional artists in the residencies, students will become appreciators and producers of the arts.
Applications for Arts in Education residency projects will be forwarded to all schools. A joint committee of representatives from the Broward Cultural Council and The School Board of Broward County, Florida will rank and select the qualified school applicants.
