WHY THEY'RE HERE

• Arts education levels the "learning field" across socio-economic boundaries, improves student retention and reduces the achievement gap
• Professional development of teachers is an essential component of student academic achievement
• Teachers who receive training and support, including instruction in the arts, are more likely to remain in their profession
• Most students in California do not receive instruction in the arts even at the level required by state law
• 29% of California's public schools offer no study in any arts discipline
• Students who attend schools with high levels of poverty have the least access to arts instruction
• Children with limited English-language proficiency are at especially high risk of academic failure
• Only 48% of African-American and Latino students who start 9th grade graduate four years later
• Students in the Los Angeles Unified School District are among the nation's most at-risk to drop out of school
