This year, as in each year since the Arts Education Plan was released, the progress report identifies some important gains. Foremost among these is that a higher percentage of CPS schools than ever before, serving a higher share of CPS students than ever before, are meeting the criteria to be rated as Strong or Excelling in the arts. This achievement is particularly encouraging considering the financial challenges the district has faced in recent years. Despite a frequently uncertain and challenging financial climate, and with additional arts gains clearly needed, data reflect that both the district and principals have continued to prioritize arts education in their schools.

A few words of description will inform the reader of what has been placed below the surface of the site to support the enormous weight of the building when that is completed. From the records in the possession of Alderman Francis W.

    STATE OF THE ARTS in Chicago Public Schools BASELINE REPORT 2012–2013 DATA SOURCES AND LIMITATIONS 4 KEY FINDINGS 5 ARTS EDUCATION IN CHICAGO A BRIEF HISTORY 6 THE LANDSCAPE 2012–13 AT A GLANCE 10 SCHOOLS AND INSTRUCTORS 12 COMMUNITY ARTS PARTNERS 14 FUNDING 18 THE PLAN CPS ARTS EDUCATION PLAN 22 CREATIVE SCHOOLS INITIATIVE 24 CREATIVE SCHOOLS CERTIFICATION 26 RECOMMENDATIONS 30 GLOSSARY 38 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 42 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over the past three decades, countless educational, cultural, and philanthropic leaders have worked tirelessly to improve access to the arts for all students in Chicago Public Schools. Since its inception in 2011, Ingenuity has been working in partnership with these same leaders toward the goal of an arts education for every student in every CPS school. Ingenuity underpins its work by gathering a deep set of data that provides a clear understanding of the specific arts needs of each school and the district as a whole. This report presents findings from the first year of comprehensive data collection, the 2012–13 school year, and sets the baseline against which Ingenuity will annually measure district-wide efforts to expand arts instruction. Nearly four hundred schools participated in this data collection, which makes this report the most current, comprehensive view of arts education in Chicago. This report also offers an analysis of progress on the CPS Arts Education Plan6 and shows data related to its implementation in schools. The key to looking at the state of arts in the city’s schools is taking a closer look at some of the Plan’s high-level goals, which stand out as central to its overall progress: • Make the arts a core subject by dedicating 120 minutes of arts instruction per week in elementary schools.
