About the Grant
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 the 2023/2024 school year. Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) with 500 or more students are required to ensure that at least 80 percent of Arts and Music in Schools (AMS) funds to be expended are used to employ certificated or classified employees to provide arts education program instruction. The remaining funds must be used for training, supplies and materials, and arts educational partnership programs, with no more than one percent of funds received to be used for a Local Educational Agency’s (LEA’s) administrative expenses.
