All kids need this creative out let. Sometimes this is the only way they are able to express their creative side and express their emotions.. They need this positive outlet.

I agree, cutting the arts is not the answer to solve the money issues of our Iowa schools. The state needs to fund our schools. The arts are a very important part of a well-rounded education.

I do not understand why they would want to take away something that kids get credit for unlike sports no credit there.
The Iowa Senate today has voted in support of a bill that would add fine arts to Iowa's mandated education curriculum for K-12 students. The bill would add music, theater, visual art and other fine arts to the Iowa Core, the state's mandated academic standards.

Being in the Early Childhood feild I see how much kids use there imagination in art. They are using what they have learned in the past to add the the present. Art is such a great skill not just for young kids but ask many highschool kids and they use are to blow off steam or when they are bored. PLEASE consider all the facts before deciding on this matter.

Other arrangements can be made. What other options were looked at prior to this? Hopefully a look at ALL faculty and administrators and their necessity.

School is not all about academics! There are MANY jobs in the world that require creativity and a thoughtful process that can only be developed through art courses!
All of the arts are very important, music and art
The ArtS are important; music and art.
