LOS ANGELES — California Proposition 28, the Art and Music K-12 Education Funding Initiative, is on the ballot in California as an initiated state statute on Nov. 8, 2022.
This measure would require an annual source of funding for K-12 public schools for arts and music education equal to, at minimum, 1% of the total state and local revenues that local education agencies receive under Proposition 98. That would be between $800 million and $1 billion.
Musicians at Play Foundation partnered with Inglewood Unified School District and the Inglewood Teachers Association to create the district's Summer Music Camp for band and orchestra.
