Information about the funding was sent to individual buildings and interested staff were invited to attend a workshop held on September 23. However, if you missed the session, information and assistance is available by contacting Dr. Barbara Schweiger, Grants Coordinator, Curriculum and Learning, 557-2487. The purpose of the grants is to encourage teachers to submit proposals of innovative and creative ideas, which are designed to help students in the classroom. Information about the process has been sent to the individual buildings. If you have questions or need assistance, contact Dr. Schweiger.
Admission is free.
Approximately 800 students will be participating in the non-graded exhibition, either in the bands, flag corps, drum lines, drill squads, or as soloists. The groups will be judged for musicianship, marching performance and showmanship. For further information contact Steve Lawrence, 557-2455. In January 1999 the OIP Steering Committee and the District Assessment Committee were restructured to form the Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Committee. This committee plans and oversees future curriculum, instruction and assessment development in the Omaha Public Schools.
