ISTA President

What a fantastic day at the Statehouse celebrating #ReadAcrossAmerica! Huge thanks to our amazing ISTA members, students, legislators and @PacersSportsEnt for making today’s event so special. Your enthusiasm and support help foster a love of reading in our students! 🧵

170 Years of Advocacy for Public Education: On December 25, 1854, a group of passionate educators came together to form the Indiana State Teachers Association, committed to strengthening public schools and supporting educators across our state.

History made! Early this morning Congress has passed the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act, repealing WEP & GPO, thanks to years of advocacy by educators and public employees. Thank you @SenatorBraun @braun4indiana for voting YES to support fairness and equity.

Voucher programs most often pay for private school tuition for families already in private schools. Statistics from voucher programs across the country show far fewer students than expected are switching from public to private school. future-ed.org/early-returns-… #EducationPolicy

.@mccormickforgov has the commonsense economic plan to protect Hoosiers, and invest in our communities across our state to raise wages and create good jobs.

After 20 years of one party rule, it’s time for more balance at the Statehouse to put Hoosiers first.  This will be one of the closest gubernatorial elections in the entire country, and the momentum is behind @mccormickforgov’s grassroots campaign. indianacapitalchronicle.com/briefs/democra…

Jennifer McCormick and Mike Braun face off in their first debate at 7 PM ET. Tune in on @FOX59 or @CBS4Indy to hear where they stand on key education issues. fox59.com/indianapolitic…

When school vouchers proved to be bad for education, charter school advocates turned to the culture war to promote school choice.

IN’s abortion ban is driving down OB/GYN residencies, and maternity units across the state are closing. It’s leading to worse outcomes, & making it harder to get emergency care. @mccormickforgov will work to overturn this ban and protect necessary care. indystar.com/story/news/hea…

Only @mccormickforgov has the commonsense plan to support our local public schools, which are an economic driver for our rural communities and provide opportunity to thousands of Hoosier students. Jennifer knows our students, parents, & educators need an ally in the Statehouse!

I trust women. Let’s go!
