Idaho K–6 media arts standards

Idaho writes its own media arts standards. They are published as Idaho Content Standards Arts and Humanities (Dance, Theatre, Visual Arts, Media Arts), adopted 2024 and are not a version of a national framework. Every one is matched to a national standard.

Codes and descriptions are Idaho's, taken from CSP's four arts-discipline families and verified against SDE's per-discipline PDFs. The GRADE is DERIVED BY US from the grade band Idaho prints inside its own code ('3-5.D.1.1' -> grades 3-5), intersected with K-6; it is Idaho's notation read literally, not a code we invented. The framework strings are ours: CSP ships a truncated 'Idaho Content Standards T' for Theatre and a bare 'Idaho Content Standards' for Visual & Media Arts. Re-run the extractor after any re-fetch.
