The National Association for Music Education applauds the introduction of, and endorses, the Guarantee Access to Arts and Music Education (GAAME) Act.
If passed, this legislation would provide language articulating the ability for school districts to use their Title I, Part A funds to improve access to sequential music education, taught by certified educators, for disadvantaged and low-income students. The GAAME Act’s reinforcement that Title I’s school-wide and targeted assistance funds can be used to support music and arts education aligns with NAfME’s mission, which is to advance music education by promoting the understanding and making of music by all.
