Parents Bill Of Rights Equips Hoosier Parents With Roadmap To Engage In Children’s Education

0

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita penned the following op-ed, which is available to any media outlet wishing to publish it. As a courtesy, please let us know if you intend to publish this piece by emailing press@atg.in.gov.

This past school year had many challenges caused by COVID-19. Among them was a shift to remote learning, which gave parents a unique window into their children’s classrooms. For some, it shed light on troubling ideologies being imposed in K-12 school curriculum.

Numerous parents and state legislators have contacted me to express concern about how much indoctrination, not instruction, is being thrust upon students. While American students fall behind the rest of the world in math, science, reading, and writing, some schools are prioritizing political agendas over academic achievement.

These dangerous ideologies only serve to divide our children, which leads to a divided society. A divided society destroys our civic institutions by falsely discrediting them. Critical race theory and similar curriculums aim to co-opt America’s traditional U.S. history and civics curriculum by imposing deeply flawed, factually deficient instruction and racial division into the classroom.

Across the state of Indiana, we’ve seen concerned parents begin to engage in renewed ways in their children’s education. For some, it’s the first time they’ve stepped into a school board meeting or interacted with their school administrators. In the Indiana Attorney General’s Office, we’re committed to empowering parents to engage in meaningful civic dialogue that will positively impact their child’s educational experience.

That’s why my office recently released a Parents Bill of Rights aimed at giving all Hoosier families the confidence and tools to exercise their voice in their children’s education. This empowering, multi-part guide addresses how academic standards and curriculum are created. It also serves as a roadmap for parents to get involved and provide input and expectations to local education leaders.

As the chief legal officer of Indiana, I will do everything I can to nurture the strength of the nuclear family and protect all children. I hope this is the priority of every elected official. Provisioning parents with an understanding of their legal rights and responsibilities with respect to their children’s education is a huge part of this office’s ongoing mission.

Ultimately, we know that the single, most effective way to hold school officials and teachers accountable is for parents to engage in their children’s education. The Parents Bill of Rightsempowers them to do just that.

As I’ve traveled throughout the state of Indiana, I’ve heard firsthand the concerns of parents who are deeply concerned about misleading ideologies being imposed in their children’s school curriculum. The first line of defense to hold school districts accountable lies with active and engaged parents. The Indiana Attorney General’s Office will stand in their corner every step of the way as they exercise their individual liberties in the interest of their children.

Ivy Tech Launches Ivy+: Bending The Curve On The Cost Of College

Ivy Tech Launches Ivy+: Bending the Curve on the Cost of College

By, President Sue Ellspermann and Evansville Chancellor Daniela Vidal

Next to home ownership, the cost of college is one of the biggest investments for Americans. People are either trying to pay for college for their children or they are trying to attend college themselves. It is the crux of why many are questioning the value of a college degree. When calculating the cost of tuition and fees, plus textbooks, along with living expenses, simply put, college can be expensive. 

There are many ways families can reduce the out-of-pocket costs of college. Filing the FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, to determine if a student qualifies for federal or state financial aid is one way. Applying for scholarships is another. Students could even consider living at home with a parent or guardian. 

However, even if students qualify for financial aid, other needs such as food, transportation, and housing may take precedence, and research shows that more than 65 percent of college students forego purchasing course materials, including textbooks, in order to save money.  

To help combat this financial obstacle and ensure Hoosiers can afford a postsecondary education, Ivy Tech Community College has maintained its low-cost tuition model. This year, with the funding support of the Indiana General Assembly, we are pleased to announce that Ivy Tech will freeze tuition for the next two years. This means the cost of tuition will remain with no unexpected increases for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years.

Not only that, but beginning this fall semester, Ivy Tech will pay for student textbooks for at least the next academic year, investing nearly $25 million to cover the costs of required textbooks. This investment will save students hundreds of dollars each year and, most importantly, ensure they have the materials they need to succeed on day one.  

We did not stop there. We also know that full-time students, which describes about 25 percent of our student body, need to complete 30 credit hours per year to be considered “on-time completion” for a two-year degree. Ivy Tech will ensure no full-time student will pay more than $4,500 per year for as many credit hours as they want to take. If a full-time student does not complete 15 credit hours in a semester, Ivy Tech will allow them to take up to six credit hours at no charge with a Summer-Flex Scholarship to reach the 30 credit hours needed. This will help students maintain state financial aid eligibility and qualify for more aid dollars.

You may think this sounds too good to be true. We can assure you – it is true! With our new Ivy+ approach to tuition and books, these student-centered initiatives reinforce that Ivy Tech is committed to being your community college, plus remove barriers to student success and completion. Our goal is to ensure Hoosiers succeed in earning a post-secondary credential that either puts them directly into a high-wage, high-demand career, or sets them up for a seamless transfer to a four-year institution where they can complete their Bachelor’s degree and beyond. With Ivy+ we are investing in a brighter, more affordable, future for Hoosiers. 

IPAC Saddened to Hear of the Passing of Terry Curry

0

The Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council, along with all prosecutors across the state, mourn the loss of former Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry.

From the moment he took office in 2011, Terry was a great partner for IPAC. During his tenure he served on IPAC’s board of directors and assisted with legislative efforts. After stepping down in 2019 to focus on his health, Terry continued to give his time to IPAC, joining the Legislative Committee and providing his valuable insight.

“It was my privilege to know Terry Curry. Terry epitomized the meaning of integrity, humility and class,” IPAC Executive Director Chris Naylor said. “He leaves behind a legacy of excellence in prosecution and public service and a legacy of love to those who were blessed to have known him.”

As the head of Indiana’s largest prosecutor office, Terry was a natural leader and mentor, not just for his own office but for prosecutors across the state.

“Terry was the kind of boss that everyone loved working for,” said IPAC Assistant Executive Director Courtney Curtis, who worked with Terry at Marion County. “He led his deputy prosecutors with humility and treated each and every victim that came in our office with compassion and respect. He had the unique ability to make a huge office feel small and personal.”

During IPAC’s 2019 Winter Conference, Terry received the Powell Feller Award, the highest award given out by Indiana prosecutors, for all he had accomplished during his tenure.

IPAC extends sincere condolences to Terry’s family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time.
