Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to adding arts and music education into the curriculum for public school students
AI Summary
This bill amends the education law in New York to add arts and music education as common school branches that should be incorporated into the public school curriculum. The goal is to provide a more well-rounded education for children, as studies have shown that arts and music education has significant positive impacts on all students, including traditionally underserved ones. The bill requires that the course of study for the first eight years of public day schools and the courses of study beyond the first eight years must include instruction in arts and music, in addition to the existing common school branches like arithmetic, reading, and civics.
