CAPP 15
begins Fall 2011.
CAPP
is a two-year program.
In year one, sites
develop a Five-Year Plan to improve arts education in both district and
community. In year two, sites begin to implement their CAPP plans and a
Minnesota State Arts Board CAPP Challenge Grant gives sites the opportunity
to participate in a $2000 residency project using a MSAB Roster Artist.
Co-Chairs
receive leadership training and convene a committee consisting of
representatives from schools and community, representing all arts areas. The
CAPP committee identifies needs and resources, developing a mission, vision,
and identifying core values. Committees then set specific and measurable
goals for arts education for the district and community.

Purpose
The purpose of this legislatively–funded
program is to support and assist each local community/district planning team
in creating a district-wide, five-year plan to address arts education
policies, programs and partnerships for children in the district and
community.
CAPP sites gather three times each year to
participate in training and exchange of information and strategies. The
information each CAPP site gleans from the process provides direction toward
developing a CAPP plan. CAPP sites examine six areas that have an impact on
arts education in every district:
1. School
Arts Curricula and Assessment
2. Professional
Development and Leadership
3. Arts
Education Facilities, Equipment, Supplies & Materials
4. Partnerships
with Artists/Arts Organizations
5. Arts in
Community
6. Local
CAPP Committee Operation/Arts Policies
Eligibility
CAPP is open to all Minnesota public school districts or
group of districts (paired, combined or consolidated) that have not had
recent involvement (within the past five years) in the Comprehensive Arts
Planning Program, unless that district has joined a new group of districts.
