In order to respond to those concerns, a new &#147;Frequently Asked Questions&#148; has been posted on California Department of Education&#146;s website. In addition, a template report may be accessed, which provides the report format to be used by districts in reporting on the allocation of the visual and performing arts block grant funding. You can access both by &lt;STRONG&gt;clicking &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;here&lt;/STRONG&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cde.ca.gov/pd/ca/vp/vapa07faqs.asp&quot;&gt;Arts Grant FAQ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT color=red&gt;&lt;FONT face=Geneva,Arial,Sans-Serif color=black&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Visual and Performing Arts Text Book Adoptions&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/cr/cf/vpapublist.asp&quot;&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/cr/cf/vpapublist.asp&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Also at&lt;BR&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/vp/im/boardvpaadopted.asp&quot;&gt;http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/vp/im/boardvpaadopted.asp&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/A&gt;</description>
