A recently formed group of Milton school parents, the Milton Visual Arts Alliance, conducted a survey recently to gauge parents knowledge of the state of arts instruction in the school and their support for visual arts as an important and fundamental part of the curriclum.
The survey was circulated through contacts, PTOs etc. They received and compiled the 100 responses they received in time for the last School Committee meeting.
