  1. “You could do something similar and have experts managing facilities rather than have school officials who are really experts at teaching and not experts, necessarily, at property management,” Behning said.”

    Meanwhile, retired florist Behning is the most powerful education official in the state. But go on about leaving things to the experts.

    “Choice is not really a choice if you can’t figure out how to get there,” said Behning, who noted that he’s open to discussions about the bill. “This opens the door a little bit more to giving parents more options.”

    But no interest in helping (say) IPS kids go to Carmel or Center Grove, or helping any of the parents who choice into a different public school district.

    Wonder why that is. I guess choice isn’t really a choice.

    1. In a heap of ridiculous bills, this may rise to the top. Outrageous legislation.

      (He’s “retired”?)

    2. Falls into the same category of ridiculousness as integrating several Illinois counties into Indiana. Thank fully they are only parttime and have a limited amount of time to meddle in areas where they have no business, after all everything at the state level is so well managed. Except maybe the missing billion dollars, underfunded state health programs, etc.

      Oh, and there shall be no “No Turn On Red” signs within a mile radius of the State House as this might slow one of the elected officials from his hasty access.

  2. In a state where we have so many pressing, life altering issues at play, this ranks right up there with the bill proposing the bat be designated as the “state” mammal…..so sad.

  3. This is the real downfall of supermajorities. The idiots control and push for their crazy ideas. These people were elected to find the best solutions for actual problems that face Hoosiers now, and in the future. Take over public schools, annex Illinois, where are we headed??
    Look at the real issues and seek solutions.

  4. The ultimate goal of the GOP seems to be funneling tax dollars to charter schools. That may be a good thing, because as soon as tax dollars go directly to private schools, I (or any tax payer in Indiana) will have standing to sue for having the government funding religious organizations.

    1. ^ this. The real end game is more $ for charters. They’ll drop this legislation and in return, their charters get more $.
