The Dept. of Education released a report on Monday with valuable information about how the arts are being offered in our public schools. Read more here: http://blog.artsusa.org/2012/04/02/ten-years-later-a-puzzling-picture-of-arts-education-in-america/
Almost ninety percent of public schools offer music and visual arts instruction. Far fewer offer dance and theater; at the elementary level it’s about three percent.
Equity gaps between which students have access to arts education also show up in the report. These must be addressed!
