How You Can Help Public Education Right Now

7/19/2020

 
People often ask, how do I support public education? Here are a number of ways. Some are very current.

Local

  1. Register your child for public school be it in-person or online. State tuition support follows the child in Indiana.   
  2. ​Support your local school's PTO by volunteering for events, sponsoring events, and making donations.
  3. Support your local education foundation. Many public school districts in Indiana have one. 
  4. Attend your local public school board meetings, read the minutes, or watch them on local public access. 
  5. Run for your local school board. You can find information here. 
  6. Follow local education reporters. You can find them in our press list. ​

State

Write your legislators. 
  1. Ask them to use the count date from 2/2020 to determine tuition support funding for the 2020-2021 school year, unless the school population is higher. 
  2. Ask them to press pause on charter school and voucher expansion.
  3. Ask them to vote for public education, always. 

Sign a petition. 
Here is a petition to suspend standardized testing in Indiana for 2020.   

Vote for public education.
  1. Educate yourself on who to vote for. Know who supports public education. ICPE's legislator report card will be released in late August 2020. Previous report cards can be found here. 
  2. Tell your family and neighbors about pro-public education candidates to support.
​
Federal

Write your legislators. 
  1. ​Ask legislators to pass the "HEROES Act." Sign this petition here. 
  2. Ask legislators to past the Senate bill "Childcare is Essential Act." Sign this petition here. Read more here. 
  3. Ask legislators to pass House bill "Childcare is Infrastructure Act."


And, of course, join us!
