I realized that I made a mistake when sending out the previous email. This bill was about removing the outreach center currently housed at the Indiana School for the Deaf, terminate all staff working in that center, and recreate a new outreach center separate from the school. HEAR Indiana is the major proponent of this bill.

I was a bit multi-tasking on some other things that I was reading. However, we know that the outreach center in ISD is very useful for children to be sure they get the right information.

Please do not support Indiana House Bill titled HB 1367.
