Posted below are the latest and hopefully
final clarifications for ordering fine arts textbooks contained in
Proclamation 2002. In light of the fact that the $295 million
appropriation did not fully fund the Proclamation, decreases in
allocations were spread over all the subject areas so that not just one
subject took a major hit.
Instructions for Ordering
Instructional Materials
From Proclamation 2002
Ordering Information, Prices and Quotas
Subjects from Proclamation 2002 include Health Education, Grades 1-12;
Languages Other than English; Fine Arts; and Physical Education. School
districts or charter schools ordering pupil edition materials are
entitled to 101 percent of their enrollment in the subject or grade with
the exception of the following subject areas:
1. Health, Grade 7-8 (MLC: 77H0). Students are required to take
Health Education in either grade 7 or grade 8; therefore, schools are
eligible to order Health Education materials based on 50% of the
combined enrollment of grades 7 and 8. Textbook coordinators should
enter the total combined enrollment of the two grades in their
population. The EMAT system will automatically calculate 50% of the
current combined enrollment of the two grades.
2. Music, Grade 1: Districts and charter
schools may requisition one General Music Learning System (Teacher
System*) for each campus. Additionally, for each campus with more than
one music specialist, another General Music Learning System (Teacher
System*) may be requisitioned.
*Teacher System: A teacher system is a package of materials that is
used by the teacher. The teacher system does not include student
editions; instead, there are supplementary materials that the teacher
uses with the students.
3. Music, Grades 2-5: For each campus with these grade levels,
districts and charter schools may requisition one General Music Learning
System (Teacher System*) per grade level and one set of pupil editions
(up to 33 textbooks). Additionally, for each campus with more than one
music specialist, another General Music Learning System (Teacher
System*) per grade level and another set of pupil editions (up to 33
textbooks) may be requisitioned.
Example: Big Tex Independent School District has 3 elementary campuses;
one middle school campus and one high school campus. Elementary Campus A
has no music specialists; Elementary Campus B has 1 music specialist;
and Elementary Campus C has 2 music specialists. Since there are 3
elementary campuses, the district may requisition 3 General Music
Learning Systems for each grade level, 2-5, and up to 99 textbooks for
each grade level, 2-5.
Additionally, for the elementary campus with two music
specialists, another (1) General Music Learning System and up to 33
additional textbooks may be requisitioned for each grade level.
Complete answer: Big Tex may requisition a grand total of 4 General
Music Learning Systems and up to 132 textbooks per grade level, 2-5.
4. All other Music Courses: Instructional materials for all other
music courses may be requisitioned at the 101% quota level.
5. Art, Grades 1-5: Districts and charter schools may requisition
either a set of pupil editions (up to 25 textbooks) or a classroom
system for each grade level per campus. For each art specialist,
districts and charter schools may order an additional set of pupil
editions (up to 25 textbooks) or a classroom system for each grade
level, if needed.
6. All other Art Courses: Instructional materials for all other
