Please Note:

• We have included the necessary Exploratory Enrichment (EE) forms to use when requesting an artist or performance. 

• We expect that you have made arrangements with the presenter or agency, but please contact us if you would like us to take care of that for you. 

• All forms must be submitted at least 3 weeks in advance. 

• Never pay the agency directly. We take care of contracting and payment on behalf of our member schools. As soon as request forms are received, a purchase order to the artist or group will be issued. We can NOT reimburse you if you pay ahead. 

• Transportation costs are not aidable under the Arts in Education CoSer.

• WE CANNOT ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER FOR A BOOKING THAT HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE.

Additional Information on Exploratory Enrichment Services

This program is available to participating districts as a stand-alone CoSer for enabling subscribing school districts to participate in curriculum-based programs in areas outside of the arts (such as social studies, science, technology, environmental education, health, etc. ) Students may visit various sites, institutions and exhibits related to the respective subject areas. Examples are visits to planetariums, science museums, and exhibits, technology fairs, historical sites, resource management facilities, etc.

Aidable fees covered under this CoSer are limited to site-based fee determined by the number of students and institutional practice or arrangements for consultant/presenter fees. This includes in-building activities. Cost of food, lodging, and transportation are NOT covered or aidable. Per person ticket prices cannot be used on the event reservation form. (Admission tickets are not aidable.) Please book as an all-inclusive site cost.

What is the difference between the Arts in Education CoSer and the Exploratory Enrichment CoSer? AIE is arts-based; EE is curriculum-based.

• You have an artist coming in who portrays Abraham Lincoln to address your 8th grade social studies students. This is AIE because it is arts-based. (Theater)

• You have a college professor who is an expert on the civil war in to talk to your 8th grade social studies students. This is EE because it is curriculum-based. (Social studies, possibly ELA if writing about the event)
