Add a fine arts requirement to Iowa's graduation requirements for innovation and creativity skills.
Why is this important?
Innovation and Creativity are listed as top skills sought by business leaders hiring across the nation. Iowa schools list many graduation requirements; yet only a handful list a fine arts requirement. Arts education courses in the visual arts, music, theatre and dance provide laboratories for these skills. We want to ask legislators to promote this addition for all Iowa graduates to prepare them to compete for top employment.
