The Butte County Office of Education recognizes that arts education is an integral part of the core education curriculum. The arts help us develop emotional intelligence and provide a positive outlet for stress and positive self-expression. When we teach and encourage creativity, imagination, and innovation through the arts, we are opening up the world to our children, who will become the next generation of our teachers, business professionals, and leaders. This isn’t about creating professional artists, although when that happens, it is something to celebrate. It’s about instilling in our students a life-long love of the arts, and through the arts, helping us develop a better understanding of the human condition.
