Art funding is a perennial topic of debate and I, for one, believe that we cannot expose our students to too much art, just as we cannot expose them to too much in the area of mathematics or ELA. However, there seems to be a gap in how art is taught across the different schools and to the extent that it does not impinge on the stated mission of a particular school (and it should not, in practice) it should be fairly applied across the district and the curriculum.
