In the spring of 2005, Illinois Creates commissioned the first statewide survey of principals and superintendents to assess the status of arts education in Illinois, and to understand the challenges in delivering arts education instruction in public schools. This study found that budget and time constraints are matched with broad disparities in the level of arts education. The research provides information to form the basis of statewide policy initiatives and priorities for arts education, while creating a baseline for tracking and measuring progress in the state.
