ISD Saves Lives

A 5% reduction in state funding—equating to approximately $3 million—has plunged the Indiana School for the Deaf (ISD) into a severe crisis, according to WTHR .

A significant state budget reduction has forced the Indiana School for the Deaf (ISD) to eliminate 26+ staff positions—impacting teachers, nurses, overnight caregivers, cafeteria workers, and custodians.

On June 17, the Indiana Association of the Deaf (IAD) took urgent action by meeting with WISH-TV and WRTV to raise public awareness about the devastating budget crisis at the Indiana School for the Deaf (ISD).

We are issuing a statement regarding the recent budget cuts affecting the Indiana School for the Deaf. These cuts have led to major changes across the school, including staffing reductions and limited capacity in some areas.
