Senate Bill 486 would no longer require teachers to take several training courses that are currently mandatory. It would also eliminate the need for union representatives to be present when talking about classroom concerns.
INDIANAPOLIS — Hoosier teachers testified against a new bill Wednesday that would throw out some of their job's regulations.
"The majority of the bill works to remove teacher voice from the decision making process. This bill serves to limit teacher voice and involvement in important students and staff concerns and provides an avenue for unchecked decision making," Samantha Pierce, a teacher in Greater Clark County Schools, said.
No educators spoke in favor of the bill, but some were open to discussion surrounding the elimination of certain yearly training requirements.
