Our Mission

The Indiana Education Employment Relations Board (IEERB) was established in order to promote harmonious and cooperative relationships between public school teachers and the school corporations they serve, thereby improving the educational process for Hoosier children.

Effective July 1, 2011, IEERB is under the authority of the Department of Education.

To fulfill this mission, the legislature designated IEERB as the administrator of Indiana Code 20-29.  IEERB's primary goal is to assist our constituents expeditiously and effectively in exploring innovative ways of improving the changing labor relationship.

IEERB's major functions are outlined in Indiana Code 20-29-3 and include conciliation and mediation, fact finding, research, unit determination and representation, and unfair labor practice processing.

To complete these functions, the agency is organized into the Administrative Operations Division, the Legal Division, the Conciliation Services Division, and the Research Division.

Thank you for visiting and please do not hesitate to contact a member of our staff if there is anything we can do to assist you.

Chairman Michael W. McConnell, Ed.D.
