School boards play a critical role in shaping local education and school district policy. In our work to inform and influence school board policy and practice, Americans for the Arts has designed this online resource center specifically for school board leaders in an effort to generate support for arts education in our schools and communities. It serves as an introduction to the role of the arts in student academic success, provides access to supportive research, highlights promising practices, and identifies success indicators of local arts education policy.
