Why we need to defend public education
​Did you know?

Recent bills passed by Indiana’s legislature have undermined public education.

• These bills have deprived schools of stable funding.
• They have expanded the charter school market, dividing resources and communities.
• They have channeled public education dollars to private, mostly religious schools through vouchers.
• They have scapegoated and marginalized teachers.

• They have emphasized high-stakes testing and grading of schools, narrowing curricula and opportunity. 

Indiana Coalition for Public Education, Monroe County, wants to change this. Schools are not factories to standardize kids for our economy. Schools are places for all children to develop their full potential to participate in a diverse and democratic society. Please join us to help fight for public education.
