Tami Silverman on Delaware County Today 7/29/25

Back to school — and back to basics on what our kids need most.

Steve Lindell welcomes Tami Silverman, President and CEO of the Indiana Youth Institute, for her first appearance on Delaware County Today — and hopefully not her last!

Who supports the people who support our kids? IYI does.

Tami gives a wide-ranging overview on:

The impact of chronic absenteeism

A new diploma seal offering automatic admission to Indiana public colleges

Expanding access to paid internships and military pathways

Financial aid flexibility for returning students

A statewide focus on early-grade math skills coming next year

Plus: She and Steve trade stories of their worst early jobs — rock-picking in Minnesota and taming toddlers in preschool.
