The NAMM Foundation, National Association for Music Education (NAfME), and Educational Theatre Association are asking educators for help with the use of federal Title IV Part A funds. Complete the survey here.
Educators are encouraged to take this brief survey about how Title IV Part A funds are being used for music and the arts in school districts across the country. The survey takes 20 minutes or less to complete. The deadline to complete the survey is March 31, 2020.
“A broad response is vital as we prepare a strong case to Members of the US Congress for continued Title IV-A funding for music and the arts as essential to a well-rounded education,” says a statement from The NAMM Foundation. “To ensure accuracy, we ask that knowledgeable central office district personnel complete the survey—one per district. Please contact Laurie Schell, Special Project Consultant for The NAMM Foundation, should you have any questions.”
