Resolution passed by the membership of the Michigan Art Education Association

February 20, 2006

"The Michigan Art Education Association represents more than 1200 art teachers, their schools and students statewide. The organization acknowledges the importance of a rigorous and balanced curriculum that includes the arts. The Michigan Merit Core Curriculum is a step toward a balanced education through its inclusion of no less than one credit of visual and performing arts for High School Graduation. In addition, we encourage alignment with the Goals 2000: Educate America Act. This federal mandate recognizes the arts as a core subject, equal in importance to Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Health, Physical Education, and World Languages."
