Be prepared to suggest some ways these funds may be used to support music education. There are fifteen (15) numbered categories of allowable use from the statute. Below are several ideas and the related category number for each.

• Instruments, Supplies and Materials to Help Ensure Health and Safety (3,5)
• Individual instruments for each student to eliminate sharing
• Individual mouthpieces for each student
• Rental programs so that each student will have their own instrument
• Instrument masks, bell covers or other protective equipment
• Addressing the recommendations of the NFHS research studies
