If a student participates in visual and performing arts activities outside the school, can the child be excused from in-school arts education?
Option Two (sometimes called Plan B or program completion) is available to high school students. Option Two permits a local board of education to approve alternative activities e.g., participation in a dance company, community theater to achieve the NJCCCS. For more information on Option Two, please go to: http://www.nj.gov/education/aps/info/option2.htm. Option Two only applies to high school students. Administrative code does not provide regulations or guidance on similar options for elementary and middle school students. Local boards of education that wish to pursue this option for elementary and middle school students should consult with their board attorney.
