The Arts and Music in Schools (AMS) Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act

 
On November 8, 2022, California voters approved Proposition 28: The Arts and Music in Schools (AMS) Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act. The measure required the state to establish a new, ongoing program supporting arts instruction in schools beginning in 2023–24. The Arts and Music in Schools Funding Guarantee and Accountability act was established for the purpose of providing a minimum source of annual funding for K-12 public schools, including charter schools, to supplement arts education programs for pupils attending those schools. The full text of the statute is available here: Chapter 5.1 of Part 6 of Division 1 of Title 1 of the Education Code (Section 8820 et seq.).
