There are real inequities in our educational system, and participants of the Student Voices Campaign made their voices heard!
Students let their school board know how the arts change lives by responding to this year’s prompt:
HOW DO THE ARTS SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH AND CREATE CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING?
Arts education is a tool for students’ social-emotional learning and mental health, but the arts are not accessible for all of California’s students. 88% of California schools FAIL to provide the visual art, music, dance, theater and media arts classes mandated by law.
