    When educators are heard, respected, and given the resources we need, we can give students our very best. Join ISTA, the largest union in Indiana, as we work together to ensure that educators have a stronger voice at the local and state level. #IamISTA ista-in.org/joinnow

    During active shooter drill, four teachers at a time were taken into a room, told to crouch down and were shot execution style with some sort of projectiles - resulting in injuries to the extent that welts appeared, and blood was drawn.

    The teachers were terrified, but were told not to tell anyone what happened. Teachers waiting outside that heard the screaming were brought into the room four at a time and the shooting process was repeated.

    No one in education takes these drills lightly. The risk of harming someone far outweighs whatever added realism one is trying to convey here. ISTA requests an amendment in bill so that more reasonable limits are placed on these drills.

    ISTA would like to have educator and student safety addressed in active shooter drills at schools. ISTA heard from members who were injured during a recent training.

    An @ISTAmembers just testified to the Senate Education Committee that teachers have reported being shot with pellet guns during school safety training. Gail Zeharalis said teachers reported hearing "screaming" and the bullets resulted in welts and blood...

    Zeharalis from the @ISTAmembers asked the Senate Ed Committee to include language in a school safety funding bill that would define what school safety training could entail.

    Thanks to educators, parents, community members and a broad coalition of Hoosiers who made their voices heard that HB 1134 has no place in Indiana.
