[Firelands joins 307 districts across the country to receive the prestigious distinction this year. In its 14th year, Best Communities for Music Education (BCME) affirms school districts that have demonstrated exceptional efforts toward maintaining music education as part of the schools core curriculum. The BCME survey requires districts to answer detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by The Institute for Educational Research and Public Service of Lawrence, Kansas, an affiliate of the University of Kansas. This is a huge honor for our students and community said High School Band Director Dustin Wiley. This distinction just verifies the commitment that the Firelands Local schools and community show toward music education. The continued commitment from our teachers, booster programs, board of education, administrators, and community members show the importance of music in the school curriculum. It is important for students to learn music in schools because music helps students increase performance in other academic subjects like math, science and reading again verifying the importance of music in the core curriculum of any school district. As Firelands Local Schools finalizes its 20132014 budgets, the announcement of this years Best Communities for Music Education designation brings attention to the importance of keeping music education part of schools core education and musics vital role in student success in school. The BCME designation is an important part of the NAMM Foundations efforts to advocate for school-based music education. Numerous studies have demonstrated that learning to play music can boost other academic and social skills, such as math and learning to cooperate in a group. The NAMM-funded Cost of Music Education study found that a comprehensive K12 music education program cost an average of $187 per student per year in the sample district. Contact: Dustin K.
