North Dakota K–6 media arts standards

North Dakota writes its own media arts standards. They are published as North Dakota Media Arts Content Standards, adopted 2019 and are not a version of a national framework. Every one is matched to a national standard.

CSP has no North Dakota media-arts family at all; the fetcher's 'No CSP data for: media-arts' prompt would have produced a wrong `none`. The subject exists entirely because NDDPI publishes it in CASE and as a PDF.
