ISTA Urges Transparency, Equity in Indiana’s Federal Education Waiver
10/30/2025

“ISTA continues to have cautious concerns about Indiana’s federal waiver request. While we support efforts to reduce administrative burden and promote local innovation, any changes must maintain transparency and ensure funds remain directed to the students and schools most in need. We’re particularly watching proposals that could redirect School Improvement Grant dollars away from public schools identified for support, and we look forward to continued discussions with the department to ensure equity stays at the center of implementation.”
