In late February, Indiana House Bill 1367 advanced to the Senate despite bipartisan opposition, paving the way for students living in St. Joseph Countyâs Greene Township to leave the South Bend Community School Corp., which is racially diverse, and join the smaller, rural John Glenn School Corporation, a primarily white district.
As a former South Bend school board member and current chair of the St. Joseph County Democratic Party, I can speak to the damage this bill will cause if passed, and to the dangerous precedent it will set for urban school districts across Indiana.
I am also an attorney and parent of a student who attends South Bend schools â roles that provide a broad perspective for the argument against this bill becoming law.
