California's Prop 28: Transforming K-8 Art Education Funding
Exciting news for California schools! Proposition 28 has created unprecedented funding opportunities for visual arts education in K-8 classrooms.
What Prop 28 Means for California Schools
Proposition 28 allocates dedicated funding specifically for arts and music education in all California public schools. This landmark legislation ensures that every student from kindergarten through eighth grade can experience quality art instruction regardless of their school's budget constraints.
For too many years, arts programs have been first on the chopping block during budget cuts. With Prop 28, California has created a protected funding stream that will bring consistent, meaningful visual arts education to millions of K-8 students statewide.
How Your School Can Leverage Prop 28 Funding
This new funding creates a perfect opportunity to enhance your elementary art curriculum or establish a robust middle school art program. Schools across California can now:
Expand existing art programs with high-quality materials and resources
Implement standards-aligned art curriculum that meets National Art Standards
