  1. We’ve massively expanded charters at the same time the college attendance rate for high school grads has fallen significantly and our educational attainment levels remain in the bottom ten states nationally. It’s not clear what any of these proposed changes will do to address the fundamental issues around education in our state.

    1. You are mistaken in thinking Behning and his ilk care about the fundamental issues around educational outcomes in the state. All they care about is destroying the teachers union, rewarding their big out of state donors from charter school advocates, and boosting religious schools who are struggling with declining support from declining churches.

      In my defense, I may have the order wrong.

  2. Joe – you actually think that religious schools have declining enrollment? You might want to check your data source. The exact opposite is true, their enrollment numbers, specifically in larger metro areas, have experienced drastic increases since the pandemic. They continue to see increased enrollment across the country in general.

    1. I didn’t say declining enrollment. I said declining financial support from their parent religious organizations … who are seeing less people attend on Sunday. Less people in church means less people donating to church.

      Voucher dollars are being used to replace what isn’t being given on Sundays.

    2. Then you are confusing church funding with school funding. You are obviously unfamiliar with the fact that religious schools bring in more than the related church, in regards to income to expense numbers. Church attendance has declined over the years (due to younger generations not attending/affiliating), but religious school enrollment has gained, and that brings in far more funding than any declining youth demographic church attendance. Meaning, your comment about grifting funds for declining churches, makes no sense. Your bias is counter factual to the actual data.

  3. This destructive legislation will please the Mind Trust and Bill Gates (he dropped a quarter-million on a recent IPS election). The Indiana General Assembly is dead set on destroying traditional public schools in Indiana – a radical agenda.
