The Indiana State Board of Education approves changes to the state's teacher licensing requirements. The changes are supported by outgoing state Superintendent Tony Bennett. The new rules make it easier for college graduates to obtain teacher licenses without completing teacher training programs. Supporters disagreed with claims they would hurt teacher quality and said local school districts would still control who they hire as teachers.
