The vast majority of Hoosiers support their public schools.

As part of our #VotePublicEd campaign, we are asking candidates and elected officials at the state level to pledge support for Indiana’s traditional public schools that serve over one million students across the state. The ICPE Candidate Pledge Program is a volunteer-led effort. We want those who get elected to use their office to advance legislation and policies that support Indiana traditional public schools.

ICPE Candidate Pledge

As a state-level elected official, I pledge that I will:

☑️  Prioritize traditional public schools when funding education.

☑️  Reject any proposed universal voucher systems.

☑️  Reject further expansions of voucher programs (Indiana Choice Scholarship Program, SGO scholarships, the Indiana Educational Scholarship Account Program, etc.).

☑️  Support fiscally conservative spending caps on voucher programs.

☑️  Ensure a consistent standard of transparency, accountability, and oversight for all entities receiving K-12 funding from taxpayers.
