World-Class Local Schools < Issues Knowledge and learning are essential to the preservation of a free government, per the Indiana Constitution. As a lifelong educator, I recognize the importance of a high quality education for students, parents, communities, and our state as well as the broader society. We must collectively invest in our kids, educators, and communities to ensure Hoosiers are set up for success. See Jennifer McCormick’s Commonsense Education Plan > We will protect the rights of students and parents by holding all schools that receive public tax dollars accountable for their spending by ensuring operational transparency. We will recognize the continuum of education and invest in all levels of the educational journey. An emphasis will be placed on completing the expansion of statewide quality and affordable childcare as well as solidifying universal PreK. We will protect instructional time by fighting to eliminate excessive state-mandated testing. We will establish a culture of collaboration across state agencies that serve children and families for efficient and effective spending and programming. We will establish an expansive plan for addressing Indiana‘s PreK-3 literacy rate by focusing on foundational milestone programs, including birth to age 3. We will grow local partnerships to ensure our kids have state-wide opportunities that address academic and behavioral needs. We will establish an ambitious school attendance program for PreK-12 students, empowering schools and community partners while holding families accountable. We will appoint a Secretary of Education and members of the State Board of Education who champion public education, understand the impact of post-COVID complexities, grant our local schools autonomy, and embrace research. We will serve as an outspoken advocate for the importance of a world-class education. We will call for a school funding formula that provides adequate and equitable funding for our most vulnerable students. We will call for a pause in the expansion of school privatization efforts while requiring fiscal and academic accountability and transparency for all of Indiana schools that receive public tax dollars. We will celebrate, champion, protect, and better fund our higher education institutions and our direct workforce development training programs. We will ensure our K-12 system plays an advanced role in career counseling by identifying and funding qualified personnel and the resources necessary to make our career counseling programs robust and effective across the state. We will champion our PreK-12 teachers and post high school instructors by implementing policies to recruit and retain the best, brightest, and most diverse educators. We will call for school funding to secure a minimum base salary of $60,000 for PreK-12 educators, and adjust veteran teacher salaries to reflect their non-educator peers. We will protect university tenure, and work to uphold teacher rights by protecting the ability of teacher unions to bargain for wages and benefits.

PRESS ROOM Former Republican Superintendent of Public Instruction and 2024 Democratic Gubernatorial Nominee Jennifer McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan ​ Would hold all schools accountable to the same standards, increase teacher salaries < Press Room Former Republican Superintendent of Public Instruction and 2024 Democratic Gubernatorial Nominee Jennifer McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan ​ Would hold all schools accountable to the same standards, increase teacher salaries August 29, 2024 Contact: Kelly Wittman, (317) 450-5711 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com NEW CASTLE, Ind.— Today, Indiana gubernatorial nominee Jennifer McCormick released the McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan to increase school accountability and academic freedom, ensure academic rigor, and prioritize an education system that empowers Hoosier students to achieve their best results regardless of individual pursuits. “As Indiana’s last elected Superintendent of Public Instruction, I understand the educational realities of today and the future: Hoosiers do not need politicians in their schools,” said Jennifer McCormick. “Respecting, empowering, and paying our educators to ensure academic freedom, holding all schools accountable, working with parents and our communities, and focusing on what is best for kids is prioritizing, not politicizing, education.” The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan focuses on creating solid beginnings for Hoosier kids, increasing academic freedom and rigor in the classroom, holding all schools accountable, and prioritizing a world-class education program for Hoosier students. The plan will establish a streamlined, consistent accountability platform for all schools accepting public dollars to educate Hoosier children. The plan will also ensure curricular, instructional, and assessment decisions are made responsibly and according to what is best for our students. ​ “At a time when 90% of our students attend public schools, Indiana has sent over $1.6 billion away from public schools and to private schools in the form of vouchers,” said McCormick. “It’s common sense to ensure these schools are held accountable to the same academic and fiscal standards as public schools.” ​ Jennifer McCormick is the Democratic Nominee for Governor. She was elected Indiana’s Superintendent of Public Instruction as a Republican in 2016. She is a career educator, spending decades serving as a teacher, principal, and rural school superintendent. Her running mate, Terry Goodin, was a teacher, assistant principal, and public school superintendent at Crothersville Community Schools. With two career educators, the McCormick-Goodin administration will ensure that Indiana’s education system has professional teachers who equip their students to pursue their dreams by enrolling in colleges and universities, securing good-paying, skilled jobs, or joining the military. ​ “It’s time to stop experimenting with education, let teachers teach, pay them well, and allow students to succeed,” said Jennifer McCormick. “Our goal is an education system with professional teachers and accountable schools that sets students up for success, whether that means going to college, entering the skilled workforce, or joining the military.” ### ​ Fact Sheet: McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan focuses on creating solid beginnings for Hoosier kids, increasing academic freedom and rigor in the classroom, holding all schools accountable, and prioritizing a world-class education program for Hoosier students. The plan will establish a streamlined, consistent accountability platform for all schools accepting public dollars to educate Hoosier children. The plan will also ensure curricular, instructional, and assessment decisions are made responsibly and according to what is best for our students. The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan has five elements to provide Hoosiers access to a fully funded, world-class education: ​ Strong Beginnings: As career educators, Jennifer McCormick and Terry Goodin recognize the education continuum and will prioritize Indiana’s investment in all levels of the educational journey. The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan will expand quality and affordable childcare to address Indiana's childcare deserts. In addition, the plan will continue expanding access to PreK education until Indiana has universal PreK. ​ ​ Hold ALL Schools Accountable: The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan will protect the rights of students and parents by establishing a streamlined and transparent accountability platform to hold all schools to the same academic and fiscal standards. ​ ​ ​ Let Teachers Teach and Pay Them Like Professionals: As former teachers, Jennifer McCormick and Terry Goodin will champion our K-12 and post-high school instructors by implementing policies to recruit and retain the best and brightest educators. We will fight for a minimum base salary of $60,000 for Indiana teachers and adjust veteran teacher salaries to reflect their non-educator peers. We will uphold teacher rights by protecting the freedom of teacher unions to bargain for wages and benefits. In addition, mandates placed on educators and school boards will be reviewed and, were unnecessary or burdensome, eliminated. ​ ​ Rigorous and Comprehensive Curriculum: The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan will call for autonomy at the local level to design a curriculum that prepares students for the future they choose. Academic freedom includes keeping politicians from deciding what books children can read. We will ensure our K-12 system plays an advanced role in career counseling by identifying and funding qualified personnel and the resources necessary to make our programs robust and effective across the state. ​ ​ ​ Post-High School Education Attainment: The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan will celebrate, champion, protect, and better fund our higher education institutions and direct workforce development training programs. The plan will protect university tenure and respect the distinction of the skilled trades’ apprenticeships and certifications. The McCormick-Goodin plan will re-establish a statewide emphasis on attaining post-high school education.

Growing up on a small family farm in New Castle, Indiana, Jennifer witnessed the opportunities and challenges facing Indiana. Her community was full of spirit and support, and the public school was the community’s front porch. Neighborhoods were filled with kids, and families had an opportunity to thrive. Yet, as high-paying jobs left her community, she saw families, small businesses, schools, and local infrastructure suffer. It was during these times that Jennifer also witnessed the resilience of Hoosiers. Her dad, an engineer by trade, and her mom, a retail store manager, instilled in Jennifer the importance of public service, empowering others, and excellence in hard work. It became evident that true public service required an approach of bringing all voices to the table, respecting others and ensuring no one was left behind. Jennifer and her husband, Trent, have one son, a West Point graduate and a member of the United States Army. She earned her B.A. from Purdue, M.A. from Ball State and an Ed.S. and Ph.D. from Indiana State. Jennifer McCormick is a lifelong educator and Indiana native committed to building a state where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. 44th Superintendent of Public Instruction Proud military mom Proven leader for Governor Pledging to put Hoosiers first ABOUT JENNIFER Proven Leader for Governor Proud military mom 44th Superintendent of Public Education Pledging to put Hoosiers first Jennifer’s journey and passion for service led her to the classroom where she spent a decade as a special education and language arts teacher before becoming a public school principal and Superintendent for nearly 8 years. Under her leadership, Yorktown Community Schools received national recognition for their academic performance and quality extracurricular opportunities. In 2016, Jennifer successfully ran for State Superintendent of Public Instruction to be a champion for Hoosier kids. She campaigned on empowering students, parents and educators, supporting and guiding schools, and delivering a high-quality public education to every child. As the last elected State Superintendent, she took on politics that were negatively impacting our schools and fought for what was right for kids, teachers, and parents. She protected local control of school districts so that communities could make the best decisions for their own children. Jennifer demonstrated fiscal responsibility by using taxpayer dollars effectively and efficiently while managing over half of Indiana’s state budget. Jennifer’s running for governor of Indiana because she’s tired of the supermajority’s focus on fringe issues that have nothing to do with the challenges everyday Hoosiers are facing. It’s time to stand up to elect a leader that puts Hoosiers first. She will bring common sense and bipartisanship back to the statehouse. Jennifer will stand up to policies that are dismantling public education, stripping Hoosiers of their rights and freedoms, and leaving rural communities behind.

Responsible Government < Issues All Hoosiers deserve a state government that can be trusted, is held accountable, and works for the protections and betterment of all. See Jennifer McCormick’s Commonsense Ethics Plan > We will fight to protect individuals by promoting good policy that protects and respects the rights and freedoms of all individuals and fight against policy that promotes hate. We will budget based on priorities and the responsible use of public tax dollars. We will audit the possibility of merging state agencies and/or their responsibilities to support collaboration for efficient and effective spending and programming. We will scrutinize any tax increases proposed by the republican-led legislature. We commit to making responsible appointments and staffing decisions with individuals who hold the expertise and passion for the specific work. I will only bring forth those who put Hoosiers before political or personal gain. We will govern, including working with the Office of Inspector General, with the highest standards of transparency and accountability to inspire Hoosier confidence in their government. We will speak out against state government overreach and frivolous actions.
