Is it true the Irvine Company provides funding for art, music and science?
Yes. In 2006, the Irvine Company pledged $20 million over 10 years – that’s $2 million per year – to IUSD for enriched curriculum in art, music and science in grades four through six. That curriculum amounts to two additional 60-minute science lessons per week; two 40-minute music lessons per week; and six hour-long art lessons per year, all taught by specialists in their respective fields. As this program has evolved, our district has gradually increased its own contribution to $1.8 million, bringing the total program expense to approximately $3.8 million. This was done primarily to keep pace with rising costs. Note that the Irvine Company’s core enrichment of $2 million per year pays for approximately one 60-minute science lesson per week in grades four, five and six and one 40-minute lesson per week in music.
