Knowing that the visual and performing arts contribute to effective schools, the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA), launched an Arts Education Initiative in early 2006. CCSESA urges every school to weave the arts into the fabric of the curriculum providing all students with a comprehensive education, kindergarten through high school. CCSESA supports students, schools, districts and communities to continuously improve student achievement...

Vision

The visual and performing arts are an integral part of a comprehensive curriculum and are essential for learning in the 21st century.  All California students from every culture, geographic region and socioeconomic level--deserve quality arts learning in dance, music, theatre, and visual arts as part of the core curriculum.
