Michigan K-12 schools are undergoing extreme stress at the moment.
But then, stress is nothing new for Michigan’s schools, which have had revenues drop 30% in the first couple of decades of this century.
When math, science, and other subjects are in need, priorities can drive arts education to rely on outside grants.
Local arts teachers are getting hit by all sorts of stress right now, says Kristen Chesak, executive director of the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo. So the Arts Council is happy to pass along grant funding for local arts teachers.
