Nearly half of Indiana's public schools were closed as thousands of teachers descended on the state's capital for a 'Red for Ed' protest, demanding state lawmakers to invest more in education.
Nearly half of Indiana's public schools will be closed on Tuesday as thousands of teachers descend on the state's capital for a"Red for Ed" protest.
Among those who will be marching is Randy Harrison, a government teacher at Anderson High School in Anderson, Indiana, who told Indianapolis ABC News affiliate WRTV that the rally is about"more than wages and benefits for teachers." "Lawmakers must demonstrate a commitment to addressing teacher pay by using the state’s budget surplus to begin increasing base salaries for teachers," ISTA leaders wrote in a public note of talking points ahead of the action day."The lack of significant and sustainable investments in our schools over the past decade has placed Indiana behind neighboring states on funding levels and places us last in the nation in teacher salary growth.
This is a movement! ISTA is just getting started. Event starts at 10:30a ET. #RedForEd#IamISTA pic.twitter.com/uo37N0Qw2A
