It is an opportunity to visit with the researchers for each project. Select reports over the past 22 years are available on the TMEA website.
Division and Region Meetings: All members are strongly encouraged to attend their Region meetings when local policy will be discussed and to be present for their Division meetings where for Orchestra, Vocal, and Elementary, a new State Chair will be elected. These meetings are your opportunity to have a voice in TMEA leadership and direction. TAEC and ECC Updates
Now that the midterm elections are over, the Texas Arts Education Campaign will be gearing up for the legislative session beginning January 8, and we will be continuing to refine our legislative agenda. The number of supporters has grown to 27,494 and increases each day. When you receive a call to action via email or text message, please respond and carry out the action requested. Again, the most influential lobby on a particular issue is a constituent reaching out to their legislator back in their home district. And if you have a personal relationship with your House or Senate representative or State Board of Education member, please call or email me and share that information.
On October 18, the Commissioner of Education was briefed on the results of the four-year study of the positive impact of student participation in extracurricular and co-curricular activities on overall student performance. While the pandemic limited the volume of data collected, the Commissioner indicated he was favorably impressed with the results and fully on board in giving a positive report to the legislature, a report due December 1. A possible outcome could be legislation passed extending the study to a more in-depth project with possible funding to support it. Stay tuned. 0
