We are also exploring bringing the program to an <br />elementary school in Hillsborough, which may come to fruition in the <br />incoming school year depending on NC AIA staff availability. NC Arts <br />in Action is committed to serving all children, and with a focus on <br />underserved children in Durham, Chatham, Orange, and Wake <br />County Schools with high rates of students participating in the free <br />and reduced lunch program. These schools lack additional <br />opportunities to engage children in activities beyond basic <br />instruction. Children in these schools are typically ESL students <br />living in poverty stricken areas of our community, with varying <br />degrees of parental support and intervention. These children don't <br />have the ability or resources to engage in out -of- school activities and <br />have a very limited world view. Rashkis Elementary is a Title 1 <br />School, with 31 % of students receiving free and reduced lunch. <br />Grant funding of $3,500 from the Orange County Arts Commission <br />and other partners will help NC AIA reach 100 elementary school <br />children in Rashkis Elementary School in Orange County in 2018 -19. <br />As a direct result of these grants, the work of Arts in Action can be <br />sustained in public schools eager for arts education for their <br />students, but with little money to support it internally. The yearly cost <br />per school involved in NC AIA is $17,280. <br />Project Start Date <br />August 1, 2018 <br />(no earlier than July <br />1, 2018) <br />Project End Date (no <br />May 30, 2019 <br />later than June 30, <br />2019) <br />
