Ten education bills are advancing in the 2025 legislative session in Indiana, focusing on improving K-12 student attendance, teacher benefits, and school regulations.
The bills are largely supported by GOP supermajorities and Governor Mike Braun, prioritizing school deregulations and private school choice expansions.
House and Senate Democrats are advocating for public education funding increases and access to pre-K programming. The bills cover a range of topics including school counselor supports, student well-being resources, teacher grants, and changes to educator licensure requirements.
Some bills face opposition, such as one that would ban transgender girls from playing on women’s college teams.
