ARTS EDUCATION PETITION ONLINE

An online petition has been launched seeking signatures to urge more funding for the arts in South Orange Maplewood Schools.

No information about who is backing the petition, but it states, in part:

Arts education is not a luxury to be enjoyed by a few; it is an essential part of the educational process for all students, equally as important for those who go into “non-artistic” careers as it is for those who aspire to be artists. In order to ensure the futures of an engaged, innovative, disciplined, successful, arts-educated citizenry, we must work together now, and act on their behalf.
