Overview
This bill amends the Arts and Music in Schools—Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act to strengthen the funding for arts and music programs in California’s K-12 public schools, including charter schools. It expands the definition of ‘arts education program’ to include curriculum, instructional materials, and professional development, and requires these programs to align with state standards. The bill also introduces changes to how local educational agencies pool funds and certify their use of Proposition 28 funds to ensure they are supplementing existing arts education funding, rather than replacing it.
Key provisions
- Expands the definition of ‘arts education program’ to include curriculum, instructional materials, and professional development.
- Requires arts education programs to align with the California Arts Standards, the California Arts Education Framework, the California Preschool/Transitional Kindergarten Learning Foundations, and the Career Technical Education Arts, Entertainment, and Design Model Curriculum Standards.
- Authorizes local educational agencies to pool funds for arts education programs, with conditions ensuring proportional allocation and adherence to expenditure plans.
- Modifies the annual funding certification process, requiring local educational agencies to calculate existing funds available for arts education programs and compare them to current expenditures.
- Deems a local educational agency in compliance if current year arts education expenditures equal or exceed calculated existing funds.
