California Alliance for Arts Education: STATE ARTS ED POLICY ISSUES BRIEF

California Alliance legislative update | http://bit.ly/gUAkIv

January 25, 2011 - With a new Governor, State Superintendent of Public Instruction and close to forty new Legislators, the California Alliance has drafted a state policy issues brief that articulates our position on a number of specific policy issues which will be taken up by new leadership and ultimately shape arts education in our public schools. The brief lists the priorities for K-12 education established by Governor Brown, alongside the Alliance’s perspective on each of those priorities. During January, Alliance executive director Laurie Schell, Alliance policy director Joe Landon, and legislative advocate Kathy Lynch met individually with the new legislators and their legislative staff in Sacramento to deliver the paper and discuss our positions.
