IN THE NEWS

California: District Faces Challenge of Naming Arts a Core Subject. "Arts advocates and educators are excited that the Los Angeles Unified School District Board voted unanimously in October to make arts a core subject. But making that desire a reality is complicated. Educators face a host of questions: What should be included in the arts curriculum? What should be classified as 'arts?' How can the arts play a greater role in public education in a time of lean budgets, when political priorities are on improving test scores in areas such as math and English? Even determining the current amount of arts education is tricky. The effort to redefine arts in school is not only happening in L.A.; it's going on across the country, as educators begin to implement new national curriculum standards...While there is general agreement that there has been a decline in arts education in the public schools, quantifying the situation is tricky."
