Proposition 28: Arts and Music Funding Guarantee
 

On November 8, 2022, California voters approved Proposition 28: The Arts and Music in Schools Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act (AMS).  The measure requires the state to establish an ongoing program supporting arts instruction.  Each school is required to submit an annual board-approved report to be posted on the school district’s and Department of Education’s websites that details the types of arts education programs funded by the program; the number of full-time equivalent teachers, classified personnel, and teaching aides; the number of pupils served; and the number of school sites providing arts education programs with such funds.
