IASP Advocacy Podcast 8.14.26

Welcome back! The 2026-27 school year is underway, and so is a new season of the IASP Advocacy Podcast.

This week, we're talking about what's happening in Indiana schools right now—from implementing new cell phone policies to celebrating another year of strong IREAD growth. And we're taking a closer look at something that needs your attention now: the 2025-26 Accountable School Audit.

IDOE has opened a brief window for schools to review their 162-Day Eligible Student Rosters, which will be used in accountability calculations. Audit requests are due Friday, August 21, with supporting evidence due Friday, August 28.

🎙️ This week's guest is Jared Leiker, Principal of Lawrenceburg High School.

Jared joins me to talk through the audit from a high school principal's perspective—what he's looking for in the dashboard, where school leaders may want to take a closer look, and why this isn't something to leave on next week's to-do list.

Also in this episode:

📵 How are the new cell phone restrictions going in your school? We want to hear your stories, challenges, and unexpected situations.
📚 A huge congratulations to Indiana educators and school leaders as statewide IREAD proficiency reaches 88.7%, marking the fifth consecutive year of improvement.

As you settle into another school year, we'll continue using the Advocacy Podcast to keep you informed about the issues affecting Indiana schools—and to bring school leaders into the conversation.

Have a great start to the year!
