INDIANAPOLIS — For Elia James, education advocacy isn’t just a job title; it’s a personal mission rooted in the challenges of her own childhood.
As a Mexican immigrant who spent years translating for parents who struggled to navigate a complex school system, James now spends her days ensuring that today’s families don’t feel that same sense of being “lost.”
As a Community Organizer for Stand for Children, James is at the forefront of a movement to empower parents and youth in Indianapolis. Her work has taken on a new urgency with the recent formation of the Indianapolis Public Education Corporation (IPEC), a local governmental body created to unify core functions like transportation and accountability across both traditional public and charter schools. @IndianaStand @93wibc
