Proposition 28
IUSD Expand Arts Education
On November 8, 2022, California voters approved Proposition 28: The Arts and Music in Schools Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act. The measure requires the state to establish a new, ongoing program supporting arts instruction in schools beginning in 2023–24. The amount of funding available each fiscal year for the Arts and Music in Schools (AMS) program will be one percent of the K–12 portion of the Proposition 98 funding guarantee provided in the prior fiscal year, excluding funding appropriated for the AMS program. For Inglewood Unified School District, the estimated allocation for the 2023-24 year is $1,270,047.
Prop 28 requires that funding be allocated and spent at each school to increase access to the arts and music. School allocations are outlined below:
Proposition 28 requires a minimum of 80% of each school's allocation to be spent on staffing (certificated or classified district employees). The district developed a Proposition 28 Plan Template for schools to use. The template required schools to respond to the following:
