Bill Calls for School Board Candidates to Declare a Political Party Affiliation

The Indiana Senate has passed a bill that would require school board candidates to declare a political party affiliation.

The bill, Senate Bill 287, is now awaiting Governor Mike Braun’s signature.

Supporters argue that the bill will help voters understand candidates’ positions on important issues, while critics fear it will politicize nonpartisan positions.

The Governor is expected to sign it.
