This bill mandates the board of educational examiners to create specific authorizations for fine arts instruction in schools serving students from prekindergarten through grade twelve. The focus areas for these authorizations include art, music, and choir, ensuring that fine arts education is formally recognized and regulated within the educational framework.

To implement this requirement, the bill amends Section 256.146 of the Code 2026 by adding a new subsection that directs the board to adopt rules in accordance with chapter 17A. This addition aims to enhance the quality and consistency of fine arts education across Iowa schools, thereby promoting a more comprehensive educational experience for students.
