We're excited to launch a brand-new series on the IASP Advocacy Podcast featuring members of our Executive Board! Over the next three weeks, we'll be spotlighting school leaders from across Indiana — each offering their unique perspective on key education legislation from the 2025 General Assembly session.

This week's guest is Andrew Allen, Principal of Batesville High School and IASP President-Elect. Andy brings a thoughtful and experienced voice to the conversation as we dive into three impactful bills:

• HB 1064 – Student Transfers: Exploring how the bill may shift local control and enrollment dynamics.

• HB 1498 – Accountability: Unpacking new provisions around data, assessment, and what they mean for schools.

• HB 1001 – Teacher Appreciation Grants: Discussing changes to how these funds are distributed and recognized.

Whether you're a principal, administrator, or education advocate, this series is designed to keep you informed and connected to the policy decisions shaping our schools.
