Visual And Performing Arts for Every Student... It is the Law!

By law, every school district in the State of California is mandated to offer and fund a visual and performing arts curriculum for every student in grades K-12. In grades 1 - 6, the law requires every district to offer two visual and performing arts classes at each elementary school site.

The Capistrano Unified School District is no longer funding a K-3 Primary Music Program for all students in grades 1-6.

The Capistrano Unified School District is no longer funding an art program for every student in grades 1-6.

The District has cut art and music programs, and is relying on fundraising and donations to pay for art and music. Those schools that are unable to fundraise have no art and/or music. This creates inequities in the quality of education a student receives within the District. As a result, the Capistrano Unified School District is in violation of State and Federal laws and Board Policies.

Our goal is to get a district funded visual and performing arts curriculum for every student. IT IS THE LAW!
