"Elementary and high school students will still be tested under the new law. There just won't be so much riding on the scores. Also the arts didn't disappear under the old law, No Child Left Behind.

"The Sound of battle fell upon my ear & heart all day yesterday - even after dark the cannon's insatiate roar continued."
"It's now up to the states to figure out how they implement that definition of a well-rounded education, in other words, where they spend federal funds.

Arts advocates are ready to help states and school districts with their plans."
