COUNTY’S ARTS EDUCATION<br />
INITIATIVE MAKES GREAT STRIDES<br />
Arts for All, the <strong>County</strong>’s 10-year initiative to return<br />
meaningful, sequential arts education to all 80 <strong>County</strong><br />
school districts, has made great progress at its halfway<br />
point. The Lancaster and Palmdale School Districts in<br />
the Antelope Valley have confirmed participation in a<br />
new technical assistance model that provides personalized<br />
support for school districts to engage in a strategic<br />
process for long term arts education planning.<br />
The online arts education portal, www.LAArtsEd.org,<br />
includes a searchable database of tools and resources<br />
including examples of school district arts policies,<br />
resources for strategic planning, and discussions that<br />
can support and expand school commitment to systemic<br />
arts education.<br />
