Statewide AIE Meeting

RJ attended in November in Albany
Elementary Level – by end of 4^th grade all students should meet all 4 arts areas
Schools share Itinerate Visual Art and Music Teachers through BOCES right now – Can they possibly share Itinerate Dance teachers?

Technically – VA and Music teachers should not be used any more because they are in the Part 100 Regulations
State is looking the other way right now
If the Standards and Part 100 require Dance – BOCES may facilitate the sharing of a teacher but the district would not receive aid on the teacher’s salary
If it is not required – the teacher may be paid through BOCES for the district to receive aid
State has to look into Standards "wording" and Part 100 "wording" to make a determination, as there are inconsistencies in the wording of the two documents.
