education deregulation

Indiana lawmakers passed a sweeping deregulation bill that aims to clean up and simplify the state’s education code, despite concerns about several of its provisions.

Senate Bill 486 – dubbed an education “deregulation” bill by supporters and a teacher “silencing” bill by opponents – could be a few short steps from becoming law after passing the Indiana House Monday.

The bill passed the House Education Committee Monday following nearly three hours of testimony, mostly from teachers speaking in opposition.
