This bill, titled the Reimagining Inclusive Arts Education Act, authorizes the Secretary of Education to establish a competitive grant program. This program will award grants to eligible entities, including local educational agencies, State educational agencies, and partnerships, to enhance arts education for children with disabilities. The primary goal is to fund professional development for arts educators and creative arts therapists, enabling them to effectively accommodate and include students with disabilities. Grant recipients must use the funds to promote curricula, best practices, and innovative approaches, including creative arts therapies, in elementary and secondary schools. These initiatives are designed to increase access for and improve the inclusion of children with disabilities in arts education, as well as adapt classroom materials and lessons to meet their needs. The grants are awarded for up to three years, with a possibility of a two-year renewal if success is demonstrated. In awarding these grants, the Secretary will prioritize eligible entities serving schools that receive funds under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The Secretary will also ensure a diversity of projects, distributing grants among entities serving geographically diverse areas, Indian tribes or tribal organizations, and schools in varying socioeconomic areas. The bill authorizes an appropriation of $15,000,000 for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 to carry out this Act.
