Proposed Waiver and Extension of Project Period: Funding for Arts in Education National Program
Summary
The Department of Education is proposing to extend and waive certain requirements for a federal program that funds arts education in schools. This would allow schools and arts organizations currently receiving grants to continue their programs with more flexibility in how they use the money and when they need to complete their projects.
Key Points
- 1The proposal would extend the deadline for schools and arts groups to complete their federally-funded arts education projects beyond the original end date
- 2It would waive (eliminate) some standard rules and reporting requirements that normally apply to these arts education grants, making the programs easier to manage
- 3Schools, arts organizations, and districts currently receiving these federal arts grants would be directly affected by this change
- 4The public has until June 21, 2025 to submit comments about whether they support or oppose this proposal
- 5If approved, this would help ensure arts education programs can continue operating without being forced to end abruptly due to strict federal deadlines
