INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WOWO): Indiana’s largest teacher’s union is calling for better collective bargaining, increased pay for support staff and more say over curriculum in the upcoming legislative session. The Indiana Capital Chronicle reports that Indiana State Teachers Association President Keith Gambill said Hoosier educators are also seeking new social and emotional learning support for students.
The teachers association will advocate a $500 million increase to basic tuition support for traditional public schools in the 2025 fiscal year – the second year covered by Indiana’s current biennial budget. In addition, to address ongoing gaps in social and emotional learning support for students, Gambill said the union is proposing a three-year pilot program focusing on student wellbeing.
The General Assembly reconvenes January 8th.

The teacher’s unions always want more money, but their educational outcomes never change. The last thing children need is the unions controlling curriculum. Parents need to stay involved in what their kids are learning or they will create a generation of brainwashed adults who cannot think on their own. The best thing that could happen to education is for the teachers unions to disappear forever.
“social and emotional learning support for students”…IS WHY WE NEED TO ABOLISH TEACHER UNIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TEACHER UNIONS ARE DRIECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR GROOMING CHILDREN.
They should be in jail for Child Abuse, NOT in charge of education, FUNDED WITH YOUR MONEY!!!
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!
