| NOTE: Percents are based on the 97 percent of public secondary schools that reported instruction in the arts during regular school hours in the 2009–10 school year. Arts specialists are education professionals with a teaching certificate in an arts discipline—such as music, visual arts, dance, or drama/theatre—who provide separate instruction in that discipline. | ||||||||||||||||
