NEW: Change to Arts Ed Graduation Requirement Coming 2022
SL2020-78 Section 2.5 states that in addition to existing graduation requirements, NC students will need to complete one credit in an arts discipline (visual arts, music theater arts, and dance) between sixth and twelfth grade. This begins with students starting sixth grade in the fall of 2022 and all classes thereafter (including students fulfilling the OCS Graduation Requirements).
Locally developed courses will not apply toward the Arts Ed Graduation Requirements. Only those courses which teach the entire Standard Course of Study in an Arts Ed subject would satisfy the requirement. There are no requirements about the length or duration of a course, but it must teach the entire SCOS in Arts Ed.
