About this episode

This episode discusses the implications of the 2026 legislative session on Indiana education and introduces a Legislative Action Toolkit for school leaders.

This week's IASP Advocacy Podcast takes a different approach to the 2026 legislative session. Rather than simply walking through a long list of mandates, this episode focuses on the bigger picture: 👉 What do these legislative changes say about where Indiana education is headed? From increased parent transparency and technology oversight to literacy expectations, staffing flexibility, and operational accountability, this session revealed some very clear statewide priorities for schools. To support that conversation, IASP has created a full 2026 Legislative Action Toolkit designed specifically for school leaders. 📎 Included Resources: 🔴 Required Action Mandates 🟡 Changed Mandates ⚪ Repealed Mandates 🔵 Contingent Mandates 🟢 Optional Action Opportunities Each resource is organized into a clean, one-page format designed to help leadership teams quickly identify: what requires immediate action, what systems may need adjustment, what opportunities may exist locally, and what conversations may be worth having with community partners.
