California Bill AB 2440 to Clarify Arts Funding Heads to Governor's Desk

A bill (AB 2440) aimed at clarifying how California schools should spend the $1 billion annual investment in arts education from Proposition 28 is headed to Governor Gavin Newsom's desk. The legislation seeks to streamline rules and address confusion that has led some districts to return arts money to the state, ensuring better access to funds for students and providing a clearer definition of arts classes.
