SUBJECT: Approval of Request to Submit a Letter of Intent for a Planning
Grant from the Local Arts Education Partnership Program L
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the request to
submit a Letter of Intent for a Planning Grant from the Local Arts
Education Partnership Program.
Information
The Carlsbad Arts Council and Encinitas Arts Commission have
committed their support to collaborate with the Encinitas Union School
District on a California Arts Council Planning Grant from the Local Arts
Education Partnership program. The full amount of $20,000 is being
requested which will require a $20,000 match in-kind support from the
Encinitas Union School District and our partners. The Letter of Intent, due
January 2, 1999 does not obligate the district to continue with the grant if
during the process it is determined not to be in the best interest of the
District to complete the application.
The California Arts Council assistance has allowed artists, teachers,
parents and students to develop a community-based plan for arts
education to implement successfully in schools. The Carlsbad Arts
Council has just completed a three year grant in collaboration with the
Carlsbad Unified School District. Based on the requirements of the grant,
the Carlsbad Arts Council will be the Local Arts Agency receiving and
overseeing the use of grant funds.
Upon successful completion of a planning grant, the partnership would be
eligible to apply for year two and three implementation grants. The match
for each year increases from the first year’s 50% level to 66% and 75%,
respectively.
