NAfME North Central Division Update
Nebraska (NMEA)… …leadership is working on by-law changes. Educators and committees are also struggling with copyright compliance. They are working with the people who are doing the video/audio. NMEA is also very busy looking for a new executive director and preparing for a music conference with a new person on board.
North Dakota (NDMEA)…
…has developed a working relationship with their Department of Public Instruc- tion. They are working on dealing with a career and tech track versus a scholar- ship track. Considering ESSA language, leadership is struggling on how to respond to foreign language being considered as academic, but the arts and music are still on the fringes in this respect.
Ohio (OMEA)…
…has seen the state superintendent of schools visiting music classrooms and planning to attend the state conference. The Ohio Department of Education has released an ESSA plan. OMEA has built a strong relationship with the Dept. of Education. OMEA is also working on copyright issues through Tresona Solu- tions. The state conference in Columbus will be held on February 8-10.
South Dakota (SDMEA)…
…has seen the Educational Department approve the ESSA language as currently stated. They will now work on adding more quality indicators including the arts. SDMEA leadership is contacting the BOE to have their voice heard. Membership, workshop and better support for rural areas round out the work of the group. One-day workshop was attended by 30 members and 11 non-members.
Wisconsin (WMEA)…
…presented a professional development conference themed “Well-Rounded with Music.” The Wisconsin Advocates for Music Education committee is planning a Drive-In Day for February 7, 2018.
