Davis: Strengthening K-12 education in Indiana

Posted by: Matt Stachler  | Wednesday, August 27, 2025

School is back in session, and as our students return to the classroom, I want to highlight some of the new education laws passed this year. At the Statehouse, we've continued to prioritize education to help ensure our students are set up for success, and that Indiana remains a national leader in K-12 education.

As vice chair of the House Education Committee, I worked with my colleagues to further empower educators and schools. House Enrolled Act 1002 reduces Indiana's K-12 education regulations by nearly 10% to give local schools more flexibility and control over education decisions. It repeals unnecessary bureaucracy and mandates, giving schools and educators more time to focus on delivering results for our students.
