FY 2016 Appropriation

The RFP program enables smaller, more regional, professional organizations to participate in art education delivery. These organizations participate in the RFP to develop educational programs geared to the state core curriculum and work to expand their capacity in providing a statewide education outreach program.

RFP organizations may apply to move to the POPS program once they have successfully participated in the program for three years and demonstrated that they have a proven quality of service, fiscal responsibility and a core curriculum-based focus in their school program. The USOE has established guidelines for RFP organizations to transition to the POPS program. These regulations and eligibility requirements are established in rules passed by the State Board of Education and are the same for both the Fine Arts and Science Outreach RFP programs. Board Rule R277-444 details the distribution of state funding to art and science organizations.
