ISTA Statement on Lawsuit Targeting Indianapolis Public Schools
11/06/2025

“ISTA believes every child in Indiana, regardless of background or immigration status, has the right to a safe and welcoming public school. Educators have both a professional and moral responsibility to protect the wellbeing of their students and ensure schools remain places of learning, trust and stability.

ISTA stands with Indianapolis Public Schools and its educators who are working every day to uphold these values. Turning schools into extensions of immigration enforcement threatens that trust and undermines the learning environment every student deserves. Our focus must remain on educating and protecting students, not politicizing their safety.”
