ONE WEEK LEFT! Weigh in: New national arts education standards almost final. The National Coalition for Core Arts Standards is nearing completion of a new set of PreK-12 arts standards - the first revamp since 1994. The public review period on the latest draft opened Friday, and the group is inviting public feedback until February 28. A first look at the final new standards is expected to be unveiled in San Diego at the National Art Education Association's National Convention in March. The final rollout is scheduled for June.
