§ Two noteworthy arts and arts education advocacy updates occurred in the state of North Carolina. In an arts education, the North Carolina House of Representatives—showing bipartisan support in a vote of 110 for and 8 against—approved a bill on March 1 to create the state's first arts education requirement for middle and high schools.House Bill 97 would require North Carolina students to take one arts credit between grades 6 through 12 in high school. The rule would go into effect for students beginning 6th grade in 2020 and would exempt some children who transfer into a North Carolina school after 9th grade. Currently, North Carolina does not currently have a statewide requirement for students to take arts or physical education classes, but many school districts have a local requirement. HB97 has now been referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Operations.
