Important Notes for Arts in Education and Exploratory Enrichment Users:

  • Use the appropriate Arts in Education (AIE) or Exploratory Enrichment (EE) forms for your request. 
  • We expect that you have made arrangements with the presenter or location, but please contact us
    if you would like us to take care of that for you. 
  • All forms must be submitted at least three (3) weeks in advance.
  • Never pay the artist directly. BOCES addresses contracting and payment on behalf of our member
    schools. Once the request forms are received, a purchase order 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.

         For support, please contact Cheri Schmalz at 315.361.5827 | cschmalz@moboces.org.

ARTS IN EDUCATION

The Arts in Education service provides support to school districts wishing to extend their regular curriculum offerings with in-school performances, artist workshops, author visits, and mini-residencies. Coordination, hiring, and scheduling are based upon district recommendations and allow for integration of the arts across curricular areas. Appropriate programs for grades PreK-12 are available. Tickets for off-site experiences in the arts can also be purchased through this service.

Exploratory Enrichment is available to participating districts as a stand-alone service, providing opportunities for students to participate in curriculum-based programs (excluding the arts).These opportunities may include on-site visits (e.g., a museum) or in-building activities (e.g., environmental speaker comes to the classroom).
Aidable fees covered are limited to site-based fees determined by the number of students and institutional practice or arrangements for consultant/presenter fees. Cost of food, lodging, and transportation are not covered or aidable. Districts may not put a per-person ticket price on the event reservation form. (Admission tickets are not aidable.)
