The Ad-Hoc Committee’s recommendations fell short of 2 credits in the Fine Arts.
The Ad-Hoc Committee on Secondary School reform has recommended 2 credits in the Fine/Applied Arts. No definition of Applied Arts has been adopted. This recommendation falls short of CMEA’s goal of 2 credits in the Fine Arts for graduation from High School. An executive committee will finalize the recommendations in August and make their final report on September 8th.
Please help us by performing 2 important tasks:
1) PLEASE WRITE THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION and tell him that you support 2 Credits in the Fine Arts for High School Graduation.
You can contact Commissioner Mark McQuillan:

The Commissioner needs to hear from people who care about the arts and know that the arts are a crucial component of a high school education.
The Commissioner has been receiving your calls. Now he needs to hear from you IN WRITING!
2) CALL 2 MEMBERS OF THE AD-HOC COMMITTEE ON SECONDARY SCHOOL REFORM. They will finish their work on September 8th. Ask them to support 2 credits in the Fine Arts. The contact information for the Ad Hoc Committee is below.
