At a Glance: Equitable and Inclusive Music Education

Orchestras work at the national, state, and local levels to build support for music education in schools. The League is a leader in national efforts to preserve arts education funding and to improve arts education policy through implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act.

We urge Congress to fully support the arts as it funds and guides the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act; fully fund the Arts Education programs in the FY22 Labor-HHS Education appropriations bills; require the U.S. Department of Education to comprehensively report the status of arts education in America’s public schools.
