Boosts arts education for children from early childhood programs through high school and in the justice system.
This bill would make arts education a bigger part of learning for young children, K-12 students, and young people and adults in the justice system. It would require schools to plan for more arts classes, train teachers, and collect data on arts programs. The bill also directs federal agencies to research effective arts education methods.
Currently, the availability and integration of arts education can vary greatly across different states and schools, and data on these programs is not always consistently collected. If this bill becomes law, states and local school districts would be required to actively plan for, integrate, and report on arts education from early childhood through K-12. Additionally, arts education would be explicitly allowed and encouraged in juvenile and adult justice programs, and federal agencies would be directed to research and collect more data on its effectiveness.
