Senate Bill 302 was recently introduced in the Indiana State Legislature. According to the language, SB 302 "provides that a teacher who is not a member of the exclusive representative (union) may enter into an employment contract with a school corporation that contains terms that differ from the terms set forth in the collective bargaining agreement." While no bill is ever perfect, this legislation would enable AAE members and other non-union teachers the option of negotiating their own contract to their own advantage.

A few AAE-Indiana members have been very vocal about promoting this bill. AAE member teacher Marlise Stieglitz submitted testimony to the Indiana Senate Pensions and Labor Committee today explaining, "I have never understood wanting to be treated like a professional and yet wanting 'blue collar' treatment."
