In The Indiana Lawyer article, “Tackle School Funding Inequalities Before Other Issues,” government and regulatory attorney Brad Boswell offered an overview of Senate Enrolled Act 1 (SEA 1), which was passed by the Indiana General Assembly during the 2025 legislative session.

Boswell discusses how the General Assembly is making policy changes that impact school funding, like SEA 1, almost annually that may have merit or be necessary, but there are some underlying truths that are preventing these policy changes from having their fully intended impact. The primary issue is school Operations Fund inequality, which Boswell explains needs to be address by the General Assembly as it moves into the 2026 session and beyond.
