The limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines is causing tension as states roll out plans for who should get shots first, and school advocates in Indiana are pressing for more access for teachers.

The Indiana Department of Education released an online resource in partnership with Purdue University to help teachers teach climate change in schools.

In some counties, initial doses have already become available for teachers, while others are still waiting without much information about when they'll get their shot.

With the upcoming legislative session rapidly approaching, lawmakers are gearing up for a series of major decisions -- including how much money to send to schools.

The governor's teacher compensation commission unveiled its report on teacher pay Monday, which includes a list of more than 30 recommendations to raise educator salaries.

Indiana teachers are expected to be part of the second phase of Hoosiers to receive COVID-19 vaccinations, state officials said at a press briefing Wednesday.

Dozens of Indiana schools are struggling to stay open as growing numbers of coronavirus infections and related quarantines exacerbate a preexisting statewide teacher and substitute shortage.

In a statement, the state's largest teachers union said it wants the governor to require all schools to report COVID-19 case data to the state.

Teachers say students are curious about a lot: like how the electoral college works, why results are taking so long -- even asking about their political views.

Initially, a draft report was expected this summer so lawmakers could review it while devising a new two-year state budget in January.
