How have other school systems divided their money among individual schools?
The PAL planning team generally makes decisions based on needs identified across K-8 or K-12 education. In many cases, schools have used grant money to support activities in a particularly under-represented arts discipline (theater or dance, for example). Others have chosen to support a particularly arts-poor school in their system. Still others have developed a rotation of art disciplines based on grade level. For example, a visiting visual artist for every third grade in the district and a theater artist for every sixth grade class assures that by grade eight all children will have worked with both theater and visual arts professionals.
