The Chicago Public Schools Department of Arts Education, with the support of Ingenuity Inc. (of which Welz Kauffman is a board member) and the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, has released its CPS Arts Abstract 2012-2015—a preview of the 2012 CPS Arts Education Plan that outlines the district’s five education priorities for the next four years with arts playing a role in a well-rounded education. It sets the standards for schools to systemically improve, expand and coordinate arts education for all CPS students.
