Dear K., Thanks for calling me back from H. I'm the director of the Fine Arts
Academy for this School District. Students may audition in the areas of music,
dance, visual arts and theater arts to attend this school of the arts. We are
a grass roots effort that has come a long way in the last five years. [Two other
major cities in the state] have the support of their school districts behind
their magnet schools of fine arts. Here, there are district support magnet schools
for science and liberal arts, but this Fine Arts Academy is not supported by
the district in the same way the schools for science and liberal arts are supported.
Some of the most significant support of the Fine Arts Academy comes in a significant
partnership between the college of Fine Arts at your university and our Fine
Arts Academy.
We are not researchers, but want to know if researchers who are attending the
conference would be interested in a grass roots effort like the Captain Dewey
Fine Arts Academy. We have set goals and have accomplished goals and certainly
have overcome obstacles to have achieved what we have achieved to date.
If we could be involved in some way (informally, since we found out about the
conference too late to send in a proposal), I think there would be conference
participants who might like to visit our campus and learn more about our school.
What do you think? Will you send me the web address, too, Thanks, K.
Fine Arts Academy Coordinator
