Raising salaries and providing paid parental leave are policies that will help attract and retain talented educators, ensuring that Indiana students continue to receive the high-quality public education they deserve.
Without a centralized agency to coordinate and enforce these programs, students and schools risk losing access to consistent and equitable support.
Indiana’s public schools are the cornerstone of our communities, preparing students for success and fostering unity in a diverse society.
Instead of holding students back, the focus should be on uplifting them.
A recent Indiana Department of Education and Gallup survey showed that 88% of Hoosier parents are satisfied with the quality of their child’s school.
Educators simply are no longer willing to work without professional pay and appropriate working conditions.
