Mike Braun:
Everyone should be able to enroll in school of their choice
Over 50% of our budget is spent on K-12 education and far too many of our graduates are not prepared to enter the workforce or pursue a degree. As a former school board member, Mike Braun knows parents are the primary stakeholders in their
children's education and every family, regardless of income or zip code, should be able to enroll in a school of their choice and pursue a curriculum that prepares them for a career, college or the military.

Mike Braun:
Ensure parents meaningful input on curriculum and materials
In Indiana there should be no doubt that we believe parents are the primary stakeholders and decision makers in their children's lives, education, and upbringing. Mike Braun will fight to protect the rights of parents to shield
their children from divisive ideologies by ensuring parents have transparent access and meaningful input on curriculum and materials in our schools.

Eric Doden:
I support ensuring transparency in school curriculums
Parents have the ultimate say when it comes to the well being of their children. We have to protect our families and parental rights. The best form of government is self-government, and then it's the family unit.
Teachers should teach. Parents should parent. Parents have a right to know what is being taught in the classroom, and I support all measures to ensure transparency in school curriculums.

Curtis Hill:
Money should follow the student rather than the system
As a father of five and husband to a schoolteacher, Curtis understands that Hoosier parents are concerned about the quality of education their children receive. As governor, Curtis will prioritize removing radical gender ideology and critical race
theory from classrooms so students are taught how to think, not what to think. Curtis believes that if children are taught to think critically, they will not succumb to radical indoctrination.Curtis believes money should follow the student rather
than the system to create fairness in opportunity. By investing in school vouchers, vocational training at the high school level, new print and technological resources, and incorporating new language and learning requirements,
Curtis believes Indiana can usher in a new era of educational freedom, free of federal entanglements, that prepares students for an ever-changing global economy.

Suzanne Crouch:
Remove income requirements for all school choice programs
A hallmark of my public service career is the fight for parental school choice. Even though these recent program expansions mean nearly every K-12 student in Indiana can receive a scholarship to attend the school of their choice, we simply cannot rest
until we have provided this opportunity to every single Indiana student. As we look forward, we must remove the income requirement for participation in all of our school choice programs.

Jennifer McCormick:
Pause expanding private school voucher programs
Education: Broadly, as a former superintendent herself, McCormick supports public education. She wants to see a pause in the expansion of private school voucher programs until transparency and accountability checks are added to these schools.
She supports universal preschool, as well as raises and bargaining rights for teachers.
