Abstract

Indiana public schools face challenges like many schools in the nation. Dwindling funding, teacher lay-offs, lack of parental involvement and federal funding initiatives that have become a catalyst for failure across the nation. Legislation that placed unfunded mandates or regulations on public school systems did not take into account the unique challenges that face schools by state and treated them as a nationwide cooperative with similar demographics and challenges. Most of the support from national mandates has caused financial hardship on schools rather than bringing aid.
