As school districts respond to the COVID-19 crisis, plan for the upcoming school year, and address budget shortfalls, arts education is particularly vulnerable. Help us gather information about district funding plans so we can identify programs at-risk of budget cuts and support action to protect them. Your input will be shared with arts education advocates across the Commonwealth. Thank you for your help!
