Council Member Rita Joseph inquires about the allocation of $41 million in city dollars that replaced federal funding for arts education in fiscal year 2025. Cordelia Veve explains how the funding is being distributed and used.
- Part of the funding was allocated through a School Allocation Memorandum (SAM).
- Additional funds are being strategically aligned with the work of the Arts Office.
- Funding is being used for facilities upgrades, high-quality instructional materials, tools, and experiences for all students.

In fiscal twenty twenty five how much of the 41,000,000 in city dollars that replaced the federal dollars went directly to school and how is the remaining funding being spent?

So again part of it was allocated through a SAM And then what we wanted to do was make sure that we were being strategic in aligning the funding streams with the work of the Arts And so the additional funds that were used from the $41,000,000 last year are being put through to schools through the arts office to align with some of the facilities upgrades that Paul spoke about, as well as high quality instructional materials, tools, and experiences for all students.
