"Facing historic budget shortfalls, LAUSD's decision demonstrates the importance of arts education in the preservation of "complete education." Both the federal government and the State of California consider the arts "core" subjects alongside math and reading. The restoration of these programs will ensure students throughout the district receive the tools necessary to succeed throughout their educational careers." Finally...some hopeful news for Art Ed. despite the awful state of education funding in CA. One can hope that this type of attention and call to action, can create more jobs for new art teachers such as myself. Go visit Arts for LA's website and support the cause!
