Education Secretary Stands Up for School Arts

Posted on August 18, 2004
Filed Under Education |

Last Month, Education Secretary Rod Paige gave a strong boost to arts education when he sent a two-page letter to America’s school superintendents (approximately 16,000 nationwide) urging them not to cut art programs.

If you visit the Music for All Foundation online, you are urged to forward a letter of “Thank You” to Secretary Rod Paige and some other involved individuals at the U.S. Department of Education.

Paige’s focus is on the “No Child Left Behind Act” and the adverse effect the policy has on arts programs in the country’s public schools.
