State Rep. Pat Boy (D-Michigan City) voted against Senate Bill 287 during its final hearing in the House, which passed with a vote of 54-40. The bill proposes to make Indiana’s school board elections partisan, requiring candidates to run under party labels. Boy expressed concerns about introducing more partisanship into the education system, stating that school boards should focus on nurturing students’ futures rather than pushing political agendas. She believes that school board members should be chosen based on expertise and commitment to students, regardless of political affiliation. Boy emphasized that partisan politics have no place in schools and only serve to deepen division, rather than solving challenges. She urged to keep politics out of education.
