NSBA, Kennedy Center to recognize arts in education

The Kennedy Center Alliance for Arts Education Network (KCAAEN) and NSBA will recognize a local school board for outstanding support of the arts in education. This national award has been presented annually since 1988 to a school board that has demonstrated support for and commitment to high-quality arts education in its school district, community, state or special jurisdiction. The award will be presented at NSBA's 2007 Annual Conference in San Francisco.

Nominees must show how the board has contributed to the development of arts education within the school district and how the members of the school board have advocated for the inclusion of the arts in national, state, and local education reform efforts involving arts education standards and assessments. The winning school district will receive a plaque and a $10,000 cash prize to help the district continue its work in striving towards excellence in arts education programs.

Only one nomination per state will be considered by the KCAAEN/NSBA award review panel. This nomination may come from the state school board association, the State Alliance or the state school board association and the State Alliance jointly. Contact your State Alliance organization for nomination deadlines in your state. For more information about how your school district can compete for this prestigious award and for complete entry requirements, please visit the award Web site.
