Open-ended survey responses about future impact. Respondents said the funding allows schools to invest in qualified arts educators, materials, and standards-based arts programs; one commented that if fully invested, Prop 28 AMS will enhance the local arts education ecosystem.
"Survey respondents noted several negative ways that Prop 28 AMS funding will impact their organizations; however, the majority of respondents agreed that this funding will likely have a positive impact on students."
