Help us make a difference
A look back at last year's legislative session
ISTA Day of Action: March 5, 2024

IMPORTANT ALERT:
HER FUTURE IS AT STAKE
The Indiana Department of Education has updated their proposed changes to the state's high school diploma requirements, and while some of the most troubling aspects of the first draft have been eliminated, there is still much more room for improvement. The state's current graduation requirements expire in December, so the State Board of Ed has to approve requirements for earning a high school diploma in Indiana before the end of 2024. If maintaining requirements for things like the arts and world history are important to you, share your feedback with your state legislators!
