The Network for Public Education Action Fund endorses Kyle Miller for State Representative, District 81, in Indiana.
In the District 81 race for Indiana State Representative, the Network for Public Education Action has endorsed Kyle Miller. Kyle’s number one priority is “fully funding public education and making sure that we return the joy to the teaching profession.”
He said, “We spend so much time trying to figure out different ways to spend public money on education that if we focused all that energy and money on public education, we could have a top notch public education system.”
He highlighted the state’s overgrown voucher system as the single greatest threat facing Indiana’s public schools, and believes that private voucher schools should be held accountable for the tax dollars they spend. He supports a moratorium on charter schools for the same reason, stating “we have allowed these charters to run wild with no accountability.”
Kyle also told us that Indiana teachers are overworked, underpaid and severely underappreciated, which has led to a teacher shortage, and he wants to change that. He affirmed that, if elected, he will “work tirelessly for teachers and public education.”
Please do what you can to support Kyle in his primary election on Tuesday, May 8, 2018.

I forwarded this post to my state Senator Niemeyer [R-IN] and Representative Slager
[R-IN]. I get annoyed at their beliefs of what a GREAT job they are doing for Indiana. I wanted them to recognize that not everyone in the political field agrees with them.

Dear Senator Niemeyer and Representative Slager,
It looks as if not everyone is satisfied with the work you have been doing to fund schools and add more vouchers and charters to the system. As a retired teacher, I believe Kyle Miller. He is acknowledging what is wrong with the current political climate which is destroying public schools. Please read it and learn.
