Tonight, let's have tributes of appreciation for school teachers. Because you're amazing, vital engines of optimism that our nation can and will become a better place. Thank you to all who answer the call to service. May the country that emerges appreciate you more.

We can be hopeful this doesn’t happen, but time to prepare.

Get caught up on what the 2020 interim session looks like in Indiana #INlegis

With revenue forecasts looking bleak & questionable property tax collections, IN’s continual expansion of choice makes no sense. The competition & money follows the child arguments are really bad arguments when ALL existing schools are going to struggle to maintain operations.

Steve Nelson: Farewell to the Worst Secretary of Education Ever! dianeravitch.net/2020/12/30/ste…

Yes! 90% of students in Indiana attend public schools. Let's fund them like it. #Blackout4Ed

As a large number of superintendent openings are announced, friendly reminder to school boards...your reputation as a board is not a secret to state-wide candidates. Your behaviors impact your candidate pool. Kids deserve strong leadership.

This morning I discussed this year's budget during the Appropriations committee. I will work to make sure our public school system and essential services get the funding they deserve. It is more important than ever that funding accurately represents the needs of Hoosiers.

The Education Committee is meeting now to discuss education funding & the school funding formula. We must fully fund our public schools, ensure our teachers are well-compensated & expand pre-K access. Thank you to all school staff who sacrifice every day to educate our children.

Pay tribute to retiring Asst. Supers. Cheri O'Day Marcotte & John Taylor's combined 70+ yrs in education. The Taylor-Marcotte Legacy Schol. Endowed Fund will recognize student scholarship, citizenship, & community service. Dr. Jeff Butts We Are Wayne buff.ly/3sZU7VM
