DeKalb High School's Math Department Chair, Carrie Dunn is honored to accept 4 Texas Instrument-89 Graphing Calculators purchased by the DeKalb Central Foundation with a donation from Beacon Credit Union.

Currently, the DHS math department has approximately 100 students taking an Advance Placement or Dual Credit math course that requires the use of this type of calculator.

Many thanks to Beacon Credit Union and the DeKalb Central Foundation!

The INAPEF Board of Directors shared they were working on proposed legislation with the Indiana School Boards Association (ISBA) that would create tax credits for donations to Indiana's K-12 public education, primarily through public education/school foundations.

We are pleased to tell you that bills have been drafted in both the Indiana Senate and House of Representatives for the 2018 legislative session that would establish those tax credits.

Here is some information on the INAPEF website explaining the difference between tax credits and tax deductions.

How Can You Help?

Contact your local legislators and share with them the impact education foundations have on student learning and that there are bills in the 2018 legislative session that would help level the playing field for public education. We are asking your support for the proposed legislation to establish tax credits for public education.
