We LOVE telling the story of successes in Indiana public schools, so where better to do it than the Annual Fall Conference for the Indiana School Boards Association / Indiana Association of Public School Superintendents?

Board members Lucha Ramey and Erin Meyer have presentations today and tomorrow, and President-Elect Dr. Dana Altemeyer stopped by the Our Public Schools Work booth to showcase incredible things happening in buildings throughout the state!

Where does school funding come from? How are education dollars used?

We are excited to announce that we have partnered with IASBO to create a short video that helps explain school finance in Indiana and how public schools work to maximize resources for students. Please take a moment to view and share with your school communities!
