Causes on Facebook
Facebook posting relevant to the arts.
Change of plans for todays email. Let's take some more action!
Dear KAIPS Members, Yesterday President Obama today released his FY 2010 budget request to the Congress. It includes $38.16 million for the US Department of Education’s (DOE) Arts in Education program. This is distinctly different from years past; at one time, previous administrations proposed zeroing out this program altogether. This is important news about which I thought the membership would want to know. The arts in education programs at US DOE fund many important programs in school systems around the country; DOE also supports important research that helps us know how much arts education are kids are getting. For more information, you can go here: http://www.ed.gov/programs The President’s budget is the first step in the federal government’s appropriations process. While it serves as an important framework, Congress has the ultimate power to set change the funding levels. That’s where we come in. Let's make our voice heard that this funding matters and is critically needed. For information, you can visit Americans for the Arts online at http://www.artsusa.org/get_involved /advocate.asp Click on the Capitol Letters "TAKE ACTION" and you'll be directed to a page that lets you write directly to your representatives. Or, take a peek at the Media Center. I've posted these links there as well Thanks and have a great Friday! MacEwen Admin http://www.twitter.com/KAIPSPS. To everyone who's been submitting your stories, I can't thank you enough. You are such an inspiration. I encourage people who are feeling deflated in any way to read the comments at http://bit.ly/18JPEIor go ahead and add one of your own. We are an amazing bunch. PPS.
