YourVoice.Now Summary
Lets schools use federal Title I funding to hire certified arts and music teachers and buy instruments, not just academic programs.
The details
Schools serving low-income students would be able to use their federal Title I funding to provide standards-based arts and music education taught by certified instructors. Right now, those funds can go toward reading, math, and other academic programs, but arts and music aren't explicitly included. This bill adds dance, media arts, theater, visual arts, and music as eligible uses — covering everything from hiring certified arts teachers to buying instruments and supplies. It applies to both school-wide Title I programs and targeted assistance schools.
