I was grateful for the opportunity to meet with the Middleberry Teachers Association Executive Committee this morning. And, a meeting in Middlebury means stopping for pie at Das Essenhaus on the way out of town!

I’m excited for the work the ESP District Council plans to tackle this year. And, it was great to be able to pop in and say hello to both of the New President’s Cohorts who were hard at work today as well.

Congratulations to David Renner, the 2025 ISTA ESP of the year! David greets the students and parents every morning with a handmade sign that brings them joy and laughter as he directs traffic, so the students congratulated him with handmade signs of their own. @ista-in.org

What a day. Hundreds packed the Statehouse to stand up for our students, educators, and public schools. Thank you for showing up, speaking out, and standing strong. Let’s keep going—for our kids, our schools, and our future.

Good morning from the State Board of Education Meeting, where the only agenda item is to hear a presentation on RAZ-32, which is a collaborative group that has developed career pathways for Randolph and surrounding counties.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
