Guarantee Access to Arts and Music Education Act

8/15/2018

0 Comments

 
The Guarantee Access to Arts and Music Education (GAAME) Act was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives this summer. The GAAME Act is a bipartisan bill that would modify the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to allow for Title I funding to be used for arts and music education. It includes an emphasis on "sequential, standards-based music education that is aligned to challenging state academic standards and is taught by certified music educators." Funding would be provided for "students to participate in music programs that address their academic needs (including support for certified music educators, music educator professional development, instruments, sheet music, and other expenses associated with music instruction)."

TMEA encouraged Tennessee's representatives to co-sponsor this legislation during the NAfME Hill Day. Please consider contacting your representative in support of this bill!
