STATEHOUSE, (WOWO) — Indiana teachers have been gathering at the Statehouse for the ISTA “Day of Action” today to protest Senate Bill 1, which includes provisions on property taxes and school funding.
Several school districts declared e-learning days in anticipation of teacher absences for the demonstration.
The teachers’ protest is part of a larger debate over education funding and school choice in Indiana.
The Statehouse is also set to vote on the budget, which includes a pause on expanding private school vouchers.

VETO this skeevy bill. It will not reduce taxes on Hoosiers. My property tax will not go down. Other taxes will not go down. We are being lied to about this bill.
VETO IT POSTHASTE!
Just like with the federal government, I’m sick and tired of being ripped off by my state and local government.
President Regan did the correct thing with air traffic controllers walked out.
Do you all realize the giant Teacher’s union building is right across the street from the statehouse?????
FIRE THESE TEACHERS.
