The Ithaca City School District (ICSD) has developed arts education practices and guidelines for continued learning during the 2020 – 2021 school year. These practices were developed using New York State guidelines, local district and community collaboration, and national research. The Fine Arts Booster Group (FABG) will support teachers and students in these efforts with their grant programs. FABG Grants application deadlines are November 1, 2020 and February 1, 2021.
“District leaders and teachers have worked hard to respond to the challenges of COVID-19 parameters placed on teaching. FABG hopes to do our part in supporting students and teachers in continued creativity, safely.” Co-President Julie Hughes notes. In the spring, FABG assisted the district with a grant enabling filming and editing of performances that were shared online.
District information on arts education and other information about the COVID-19 response is updated regularly online.
