Chalkbeat Colorado, March 2, 2016: Low-income students getting short shrift in the arts, new report finds
“Low-income public schoolchildren in Denver are less likely to get a quality arts education than their wealthier peers, according to a new report by a Denver-based advocacy group. Elementary schools where most students are living in poverty send far fewer kids to the city’s premier arts magnet middle school, the report found. Schools that serve poor children also have fewer partnerships with community artists and organizations, it found.”
