.
Starting this fall, it's estimated more than $900 million of the state budget will be allocated for arts and music education in public schools.

Educators, community leaders, and artists, including comedian Jason Alexander, singers Aloe Blacc and will.i.am, celebrated the passage of Prop 28 and the ways increasing access to the arts can transform lives.Copyright © 2023 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
