Thursday, June 19th, 2008

According to a report issued in June 2008 by New York City’s Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum, the great majority of New York City public schools are failing to comply with state requirements to teach the arts.

The new report “Out of Tune: A Survey on NYC Students’ Access to Arts Education” is based on surveys conducted by the Public Advocate’s office of 100 randomly selected public elementary schools and 50 randomly selected public middle schools in New York City.
