Congrats, Director Smith. This is also a great time to recognize Indiana’s former outstanding school safety directors, Woodward and Balko. Indiana has been recognized as a National leader in school safety – School Safety Academy.

Indiana’s college-going rate has dropped more than ANY other state tracked by the National Center for Education Statistics over the past 15 years. This drop impacts individual Hoosiers, families, communities and our entire state.

Hey folks 👋 I’m a mid-Michigan dad and a union educator who’s been standing up to billionaires like Betsy DeVos. Now I’m running for Congress to lower costs—and invest in families. Will you pitch in to help launch my grassroots campaign? 👇 https://t.co/jq6dKbTISJ

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Sooooo….In May, Trump administration announced it will stop paying out $1B in federal grants that US school districts have been using to hire mental health professionals, including counselors and social workers. Total Disconnect! Shameful.

Reminder to Hoosier families: Indiana’s relentless attack on PreK, K-12, and higher education is a GOP choice. There are other states prioritizing kids! Kids. First. Always. Well done, @DemGovs!
The Office of Early Childhood is consolidating Kansas' existing early childhood services under one roof, cutting red tape and streamlining access to essential resources. Thanks to this law, we are putting Kansas children first and moving our entire state forward.

As Indiana continues to reduce funding for traditional public schools, struggle to fund 4 different systems of (schools’) choice, discuss voluntary public district consolidation, and start forced consolidation, 5 more charters are seeking approval to open. Bad policy!
Charter schools need approval from authorizers to open. Here’s which schools are on the agenda for upcoming meetings of the Indianapolis Charter School Board and the Indiana Charter School Board.

Nothing to see here folks, walk along . . . We are sleepwalking into an economic catastrophe. You can blame Donald Trump of course, but Congressional Republicans hold the key to reversing this. (source: RTI Job Postings via Chmura Economics)

Trump wants a less-educated future. Indiana is a cautionary tale of what that looks like. Thanks @hicksCBER for explaining to @haveyouheardpod where the Hoosier state went so wrong

If you are an elected official who truly believes in transparency, you don’t strip away the only 3 Indiana University Board of Trustees seats that have been elected by IU’s alumni body since 1891. @IUBloomington is an amazing university. This Boiler supports the IU Hoosiers!

All @IndianaUniv alumni should be outraged that our ability to vote on one-third of the IU Trustees is being eliminated - and is being done so with no public debate or discussion. @IUBloomington @iustudentgov
Language slipped into the 220-page budget deal gets rid of alumni elections for Indiana University's board of trustees and gives Gov. Mike Braun total control. https://t.co/CU0xyKMVrr

Unbelievable. The GOP confirmed a Sec of Education who refers to AI as A1 (steak sauce). The GOP confirmed and defends a Sec of Defense who sends US classified, sensitive detailed military plans to his family and a journalist using non-secure channels. We deserve better.

Attention Hoosiers! In the final phase of Indiana’s legislative session, Senator Byrne (R) is taking legislative steps toward eliminating the topic of “consent” being taught in IN’s human sexuality curriculum. https://t.co/PbuItFMIg5

A Republican state senator decided to remove a provision in Senate Bill 442 that included "consent" in sex education curriculum. Did anyone ask for this? Nope. Were any experts consulted? Nope....

This is just going to get worse. Speak up, @SenToddYoung @SenatorBanks @RepRudyYakym This irresponsible behavior from Hegseth and others is putting our service men and women at risk! Set an example for your fellow GOP, Sen. Young- lead!
BREAKING NYT: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat. Some of those people

This. 👇
I'm not sure how much attention we should pay to Hoosiers who are screaming about the need for a $100-$300 property tax cut, but are silent on tariffs that will cost the average family $3,500-$4,700 over the next 12 months.
