Curriculum committee endorses K–8 music maps for full-board review
Summary
Central York SD curriculum committee agreed to send K–8 music curriculum maps to the full school board for approval after minor edits, scheduling them for the June meeting.
The Central York SD Curriculum Committee on May 5 agreed to forward the district's K–8 music curriculum maps to the full school board, with minor edits, to appear on the June meeting agenda.
Committee members said the maps cover general music, intermediate band and orchestra, and middle-school band and orchestra, and draw on both Pennsylvania arts and humanities standards and national arts standards for alignment. "They did a fantastic job," one committee member said of the teachers who wrote the maps.
Committee members flagged two specific edits: in the elementary choir units 3 and 4 the label under the PA standards reads "entities" and should be corrected, and in the intermediate band unit 6 the words "elements and principles" should be capitalized to match the standard. The presenter said those corrections would be made and an updated folder would be provided before the full-board meeting.
The committee chair asked whether the group was ready to send the maps to the full board; committee members responded affirmatively. The presenter said the materials would be placed on the agenda for the June meetings.
No formal motion text or recorded roll-call tally was provided in the transcript; the record shows the committee reached agreement to advance the maps after the stated edits. The committee did not take additional policy actions on music standards during the meeting.
The committee indicated it will report back to the full board in June with corrected documents and the finalized packet for review.
