They broke apart QSAC into core subjects, then a second teir that included h/pe and the arts. The only thing that districts would need to do in relation to the arts and physical education would be to check off a box that said the district is in compliance. Over 1,000 emails came into the state board of education office in relation to the two tiered system on behalf of the arts, health and physical education. We came out victorious. </p><p>Codes and regulations: Task Force in place: 46 recommendations.
