Garland ISD Fine Arts Recognized as one of the Best... 9 years in a row
The NAMM Foundation recognizes the Garland Independent School District for its outstanding commitment to music education with a Best Communities for Music Education (BCME) designation. Garland ISD joins 476 districts across the country to receive the prestigious distinction in 2018. This is the sixth time that the school district has earned this distinction.
In its 19th year, Best Communities for Music Education affirms school districts that have demonstrated exceptional efforts toward maintaining music education as part of the schools’ core curriculum.
The BCME survey requires districts to answer detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by The Institute for Educational Research and Public Service of Lawrence, Kansas, an affiliate of the University of Kansas.
“This is the 8th time that the Garland ISD has received this recognition” said George W. Jones, Director of Fine Arts. “The award is an affirmation that the Garland ISD is dedicated to educating the whole child and that the Fine Arts programs are an integral part of that education.”
As the Garland ISD finalizes its 2018–2019 budgets, the announcement of this year’s Best Communities for Music Education designation brings attention to the importance of keeping music education part of school’s core education and music’s vital role in student success in school.
Community music programs have been drawing increased attention because of a landmark study by Northwestern University brain scientists. These researchers found new links between students in community music programs and academic success in subjects such as reading.
