🎙️ Today’s Conversation
DID I NOT TELL YOU FRIDAY?! 😅 All this week we’ll be covering the fallout from the final Indianapolis Local Education Alliance (ILEA) meeting. Today’s episode features the first part of my conversation with IPS parent, educator, friend, and ILEA Parent Advocate Tina Ahlgren, focusing on what the ILEA is, how it was formed, and how its rushed timeline shaped the recommendations now headed to the Statehouse.
This episode is the first of a four-part series unpacking how we even got here to begin with.
