As the new additional collective bargaining meeting requirements go into effective, I am learning through conversation community members and school personnel are not filling Board rooms. Poor policy is expensive, time consuming, misleading and lacks positive results.

Educational leaders demand adequate tax dollars to operate, they are labeled unreasonable. Business and Industry leaders demand “adequate” tax incentives to operate, they are labeled great partners. 🤔

As I travel across Indiana and speak to communities about K-12 education, it is clear from listening to our citizens that many of IN’s education policies are in question & do not represent the wishes of the majority of families. 🤔

Indiana may not be the fastest mover toward renewables, but that doesn't mean our students are unlikely to impact the field. How is your school helping to prepare students to work in clean energy? bit.ly/2ShNJpC

Bradley Cooper - sure, he can act, he seems like a nice guy, he’s all right looking, he can sing, but could he be a school superintendent?

“Indiana’s NIPSCO will replace 1.8 gigawatts (GW) of coal with wind and solar.” We are excited to see utilities investing in clean energy. What this means for solar? it’s viable. We're excited to be delivering solar to schools in the Midwest! bit.ly/2TOFbYS

How long do you think it takes to get a solar farm at your school? Some schools work on it for over a year or two. What if someone took care of finding the installer, the funding, and the engineering for you? You have better things to do with your time! #toolong #trusttheprocess
