The Capistrano Unified School District provides Block Music to all students in the 4th and 5th grade. However, due to a “lack of adequate funding” from the State of California, the Capistrano Unified School District no longer provides a Primary Music Program for students in grades 1-3.

“While districtwide primary music is not funded by the general fund, many CUSD Elementary Schools have elected to use site funds and gift monies to purchase primary music. Each site decides how the music lessons will be allocated.”

The District is relying on fundraising and donations to pay for Primary Music Programs for Grades K-3. Those schools that cannot raise sufficient funds offer no music and/or art in violation of state law, 16 Board Policies and the Equal Protection laws of both the United States and California.

Every student in grades 1 - 3 is suppose to have district funded art and music at each school site. That is the law!

Give all students the gift of music by standing up for students at the January 27, 2016 BOT meeting.
