Ramon Gonzalez is principal of Middle School 223, located in New Yorks
poorest Congressional District—the South Bronx. MS 223, formerly
identified as the most dangerous intermediate school in New York City,
is undergoing a transformation. With the help of the School Arts Support
Initiative, funded by the Center for Arts Education and the New York
TImes Company Foundation, the arts are taking their place as a basic
subject along with English, Math, Science, Social Studies and
Technology. Through interviews and classroom footage, Mr. Gonzalez,
teachers, Teaching Artists and students discuss the transformative
elements of the School Arts Support Initiative and lay out the nuts and
bolts needed for a successful arts-rich school environment.
