More Schools Announce Closures for Tuesday’s ‘Red for Ed Action Day’

The list of schools closing for next Tuesday’s Indiana teachers rally continues to grow. The Indiana State Teachers Association is hosting a “Red for Ed Action Day” at the Statehouse on November 19.

The Plymouth Community School Corporation and the Union-North United School Corporation have both announced that classes will not be in session next Tuesday, with a makeup day planned for January 20. The Culver Community Schools Corporation previously announced that Tuesday will be an eLearning day.

As part of next week’s Red for Ed Action Day, the Indiana State Teachers Association is calling on lawmakers to raise teachers’ base salaries using the state’s budget surplus, hold schools and teachers harmless from ILEARN scores, and repeal recent changes to teachers’ license renewal requirements.
