Gov. Mitch Daniels has big plans for education reform, and it’s causing local educators concern.
In Daniels’ State of the State address Tuesday, the governor emphasized the need for education reform and urged legislatures to take advantage of the Republican majority in the Indiana General Assembly to push the initiative forward.
Daniels outlined a plan that may soon affect the financial needs of Monroe County Community School Corporation and other local schools.
“In no realm is our opportunity larger than in the critical task of educating our children,” Daniels said in his address. “The need for major improvement, and the chance for achieving it, is so enormous tonight that opportunity rises to the level of duty.”
Daniels’ proposed agenda includes a voucher system that will allow children to use state dollars to attend a private or charter school rather than a public school in their district.
