Fine Arts Private Instructors

The Arlington Independent School District (AISD) is soliciting applications from independent music instructors to participate in its Private Lesson Program for the 2025-2026 school year. Eligible instructors must complete the district’s application process annually and be placed on an official cleared list curated by the Director of Fine Arts, which is then provided to campus directors. Instructors approved through this process may conduct private music lessons either virtually or on AISD campuses. The contract operates on a yearly renewal basis, requiring reapplication each school year. Instructors manage their own billing and collections directly with students or parents, using standardized monthly statements provided by AISD. Billing and payment schedules, as well as lists of participating teachers and campuses, are furnished as attachments with the application materials. The contractual relationship is formalized through an agreement specifying terms covering instructional rates that vary by instructor qualification, scheduling cooperation, use and standards for instructional materials, attendance policies, reporting obligations, legal and ethical compliance, insurance requirements, and program supervision. Both parties retain the right to terminate the agreement at any time. The scope strictly delineates that lessons occur as independent engagements rather than AISD employment, with instructors bearing full financial responsibility for their services. The solicitation (FA-01) is issued by AISD under NAICS 611610 and remains open until the end of 2025. While there is no explicit mention of federal acquisition clauses or formal FAR provisions, standard procurement instructions and program policies govern the process. Oversight is maintained by the Director of Fine Arts, who ensures compliance with program standards and eligibility. Contact for inquiries is provided, and the program emphasizes that instructor qualifications, clearances, and adherence to billing and instructional policies are critical for continued participation.
