HD22 - The Feasibility of Establishing a Residential School for the Arts, Humanities and Sciences
Executive Summary: House Joint Resolution 46 requested the Department of Education to study the feasibility of establishing one or more residential, state operated schools for the arts, humanities, and sciences. In conducting this study, the Department named a subcommittee from the State Advisory Committee and a representative from the State Chamber of Commerce to begin work on this assignment. The committee held public hearings and received written testimony concerning the establishment and operation of the residential school. Consultants assisting the Department and the committee with the study were Dr. Charles R. Eilber, Director of The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics and Dr. Gayle H. Gear, who evaluated the Alabama School of Fine Arts. Based on the recommendation of the study committee, the Department is requesting an appropriation of $33,000 from the 1983 session of the General Assembly to complete the task as outlined under Step 1 (page 5) of the attached report. The funds would be used to hire part-time staff to work with the Department so that specific recommendations can be made regarding the site, program design, staff and student selection process, funding alternatives, and operation of the school. This report has been reviewed and endorsed by the Board of Education. |
