A statewide listening tour with Indianas schools chief and a state senator kicked off Thursday night. The duo will focus on education concerns from Hoosiers, but the tour isnt without controversy.

More than 22,700 about a third of all teachers in the state have started the process to renew their licenses compared to just 514 at this time last year.

Indiana’s governor will appoint the state’s next schools chief under a bill passed by House lawmakers Thursday.

Gov. Eric Holcomb drew criticism last week after saying the teacher pay increase may need to wait until 2021.

Superintendent Jennifer McCormick says she supports any increase for school funding. But she hopes it will be enough for everyone.

Indiana’s schools chief says state money shouldn’t go to schools that discriminate.

One theme of Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick’s agenda for next year is accountability.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick entered office in 2017, after years of turmoil between education policy makers and agencies.

McCormick praised Donnelly for his willingness to deliver federal help for Indiana schools. And she notes his recognition that the best support is flexible.

The full impact of scoring issues plaguing this year’s ISTEP results remains unknown, but state officials aim to resolve the problems by the end of this week.
