This bill amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to significantly expand access to arts and music education in schools by requiring school-wide programs to include sequential, standards-based arts education , encompassing dance, media arts, theater, and visual arts, taught by certified arts educators or community providers. It also mandates the inclusion of sequential, standards-based music education , delivered by certified music educators, within these programs. Furthermore, the legislation allows targeted assistance schools to allocate funds for programmatic support for students participating in both arts and music programs, covering expenses such as certified educators, professional development, supplies, instruments, and music technology, thereby enhancing the quality and availability of comprehensive arts and music instruction.
