Today, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) continues to take meaningful steps to support equitable access and fulfill the commitment made in the President’s Executive Order on Promoting the Arts, the Humanities, and Museum and Library Services. One of the pillars of Secretary Miguel Cardona’s Raise the Bar: Lead the World initiative is access to a comprehensive, rigorous education for all students, and arts education and integration are a core component of that work. Arts education—including dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts—is key to equitable access to a well-rounded education and central to our shared commitment to ensure that every student receives highquality instruction that prepares them to be active, engaged, and lifelong learners. In my 35 years as an educator, I have learned that the arts are where the heart and soul of many students is most present. I encourage you to consider how you can expand access to the arts in your schools by using Federal, State and local resources to support and enhance equity-focused arts education programs for Pre-K–12 students.  \nThe Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) provides State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) the discretion to define a well-rounded education and to determine how best to use Federal, State, and local funds to meet students’holistic needs. For example, an LEA may use Title I, Part A funds to bolster arts education programs as a strategy to support Title I students in meeting the State’s challenging academic standards. Consistent with Title I, Part A, the permissibility of using Title I funds for a particular activity depends on that school’s needs assessment and schoolwide or targeted assistance plan. 1  \nOther Federal formula funds can be leveraged to boost arts education as well. An LEA or school may use funds under Title II, Part A of the ESEA to provide professional development to educators on arts-focused concepts and approaches to arts instruction, including embedding arts education into core subject areas. For example, educators may receive professional development on programs and strategies focused on illustrating mathematical concepts through music or aligning theatrical productions with reading/language arts standards. Funds under Title III, Part A ofthe ESEA may also be used to provide supplemental arts-focused resources specifically developed for English learners.  \nLEAs that receive more than $30,000 in Title IV, Part A of the ESEA funds must use part of their funds for activities that support access to a well-rounded education, which may include arts and music programs. A well-rounded education promotes a diverse set of learning experiences to engage students, and Title IV, Part A funds allow SEAs, LEAs, and schools the flexibility to tailor investments based on the needs of their unique student populations. The 21st Century  \n1 For more information, please refer to: [https://oese.ed.gov/files/2023/11/artsineducltr62013.pdf](https://oese.ed.gov/files/2023/11/artsineducltr62013.pdf).  \nCommunity Learning Centers program, authorized in Title IV, Part B of the ESEA, provides funds to SEAs to subgrant to school districts or community-based organizations to support centers that provide additional student learning opportunities through before-and after-school programs and summer school academic and enrichment programs, including arts education programs.  \nIn addition, under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), SEAs and LEAs may use Part B funds to provide special education and related services, supplementary aids and services, program modifications, and support for school personnel, for a child with a disability in arts-focused courses, if determined by the indi","cbCain0fjYkk2skZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain0fjYkk2skZ","pdf",174305,"English","# Arts education as a core component\n## Access, equity, and well-rounded instruction\n## Using ESEA funds for arts education\n## Title IV community learning centers and IDEA/Perkins V\n## Discretionary grants: Assistance for Arts Education (AAE)\n## Implementation support through the AAE Center","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this guidance letter?\",\"answer\":\"It encourages state and local leaders to expand equitable arts education programs for all Pre-K–12 students using federal, state, and local resources.\"},{\"question\":\"How can ESEA Title I, Part A funds be used to support arts education?\",\"answer\":\"Title I, Part A funds may be used to bolster arts education programs when aligned with the school’s needs assessment and its schoolwide or targeted assistance plan.\"},{\"question\":\"What discretionary funding is highlighted for arts education?\",\"answer\":\"The Assistance for Arts Education (AAE) discretionary grant program is highlighted, including its focus on professional development, accessible instructional materials and online resources, and outreach that strengthens partnerships.\"}]","Raise the Bar: Lead the World - Arts Education Funding Guidance | PDF"]
