This is a project I did in one of my health sciences classes in Spring 2025. The purpose of this project was to watch a court video about issues being discussed in Indiana and I chose the education system. While writing my paper, I learned that a lot of funding going toward schools to improve the food and health for students. There are many resources, such as controlling A1C levels for diabetes, being funded so the overall rate of health conditions improves. Schools are also focusing on tobacco prevention by improving the programs available to those that struggle in school. There has been an increase in the amount of tobacco and illicit substance use in school and schools are closely monitoring it to prevent further abuse of tobacco. One main issue discussed was the need to ease the work load on school counselors as they are being overworked and do not have time to complete their counselor duties. The push for alternative routes considering standardized testing and monitoring duties is discussed so counselors have more time to be one-on-one with students about school rather than performing different tasks around the school. Overall, I learned how the debate process works as each person pitches their idea to others and how the process of putting these ideas into actions is ran.
