Sign up for Chalkbeat Indiana’s free daily newsletter to keep up with Indianapolis Public Schools, Marion County’s township districts, and statewide education news.
Keep updated on the latest education news coming from the Indiana legislative session by texting with Chalkbeat Indiana.
Each year, the lawmakers meet to create laws and policies around education in the state. In recent years, they’ve discussed and passed sweeping laws on what students learn and how their teachers teach, literacy, absenteeism, high school diploma requirements, and more.
Plus, legislators adopt the state budget every two years. It includes funding for public schools as well as vouchers for students to attend private schools. The 2025 session is a budget year.
So Chalkbeat Indiana launched Session Syllabus, a texting service that helps you stay in the know on big education issues and laws moving through the legislature.
Sign up by submitting your phone number in the form below to get texts about once per week from Chalkbeat reporter Aleksandra Appleton with updates on key legislation affecting schools and students. Or you can text the word SESSION to (317) 648-5331 to sign up.
You can also text back with your questions about bills, issues, and the legislative process and we’ll try and track down the answer for you.
We also offer text updates from Indianapolis Public Schools meetings — sign up for those here.
