THE FUTURE (OF ARTS EDUCATION) BELONGS TO US? Sign the Petition! | http://bit.ly/arts_petition

In order to close its budget deficit, the Los Angeles Unified School District plans to eliminate half of its elementary school arts teachers (music, dance, theater, visual arts) in 2011 and the remaining half in 2012, by which time there would be NO elementary school arts instruction of any kind in our public schools. The ramifications for that are as daunting as they are obvious. Arts for L.A. is circulating a petition to the LAUSD Board of Education to reconsider its draconian plan. The petition is here | http://bit.ly/arts_petition
