Description

Photocopy of a letter from Jack Davis and Bill McCarter, co-directors of North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts, to Melba Davis Whatley. The letter is in regards to a discussion over advocacy programs and wanting to discuss these ideas with school board members / political leaders to have them look in depth at the discipline-based art education and what contributions it makes to the education of the students. Davis and McCarter mention the Texas Association of School Boards, TASB and believe they could be used a vehicle for doing most of the ground work on advocacy. If NTIEVA works with TASB now they can get a presentation together on art education for their annual conference. Davis and McCarter end the letter by thanking Whatley for her ideas and to contact them if she has any others. Copied on the letters are Leilani Lattin Duke, Vicki Rosenberg and M'Lou Bancroft, faculty of the Getty Center. Scribbled at the end of the letter reads, "Mrs. Whatley, I will be in Austin on October 29 and 30. If you'd like to discuss this, perhaps we ... have dinner on Thursday evening. Jack"
