| During the last decade, arts instruction has received increasing
attention as an important aspect of education. The Improving America's
Schools Act of 1994 (U.S. Public Law 103-382), and the release of the
voluntary National Standards for Arts Education (Consortium of National
Arts Education Association 1994), demonstrated this increase in
attention. By 1998, there were no national data sources that
specifically addressed the condition of arts education in the nation's
public schools. To fill this data gap, the National Endowment for the
Arts, the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), and
the Office of Reform Assistance and Dissemination (ORAD) of OERI
requested that surveys be conducted under the Fast Response Survey
System (FRSS) of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of
the U.S. Department of Education. The purpose of this report is to
provide a national profile of the status of arts education in the
nation's regular 1 public schools during the 1999-2000 school year.
Specifically, this report presents information on the characteristics
of public elementary and secondary school arts education programs,
including data on the availability of instruction in the arts,
staffing, funding, supplemental programs and activities, and
administrative support of arts education. |
