[logo black-white_small.jpg][Candidate Survey Project logo] Where do your School Board Candidates stand on the Arts? Ask them! With hundreds of Washington school board positions up for election this fall, voters have a critical opportunity to select education leaders who are committed to providing the high quality, sequential arts learning that every student deserves (and that the law requires)! But how will you know which candidates support arts education? By asking them! ArtsEd Washington is sponsoring a School Board Candidate Survey on Arts Education and wants every concerned education/arts advocate in every school district to sign on as a smARTS Champion and send the survey to their school board candidates. ArtsEd Washington will then post all candidate responses online for voters to consider before making their school board decisions. Become a smARTS Champion! By becoming a smARTS Champion, you join many other engaged education and arts advocates in asking School Board Candidates about their views on arts education. Your participation helps your candidates to understand that the arts are an important part of each child's education. Register to be a smARTS Champion<http://artsedwashington.org/get-involved/school-board-candidates-survey-3/school-board-candidates-survey-sign-up> in your district and ArtsEd Washington will make it easy - helping you access your candidate info, as well as providing an email template and a link to the survey.
