#RedForEd… How did we get here? Listen to economist David Hummels discuss the changes in IN's education funding. Let’s make sure his words at the end of this clip don’t foretell the future of public education in Indiana. youtu.be/3wsugCSlEY4 #Red4Ed

In this excerpt from Rise Above the Mark, Indiana 5th Grade teacher, Sheryl Braile, describes morale in public schools as having “never been lower.” Teachers, parents and public school supporters in a show of support, are showing her words still ring true today. #RedforEd

In 2014, concern for public education in Indiana drove momentum for a documentary telling a story summarized by Indiana teacher, Diana Rathert in this excerpt. Today in Indianapolis, #RedforEd is the first day of fighting the way back that she so hoped for. #Red4Ed

Those of us that worked on @RiseAboveMark are saddened by the passing of Gene Cernan. Our day with him at @NatlFltAcademy was inspiring.
