About Us
What is IN Schools?
IN Schools is a trust-building campaign spearheaded by GSI, dedicated to fostering stronger connections between schools and their communities. Unlike traditional election cycle campaigns, IN Schools is not tied to elections. Instead, it focuses on proactive storytelling, positive media coverage, paid advertising, and, when necessary, crisis communication and defense strategies to establish trust and credibility.
Building a Stronger Bench
A key goal of IN Schools is to develop and empower business voices to advocate consistently for schools and education. By engaging community leaders and stakeholders, the campaign ensures a steady, unified effort to support educational initiatives year-round.

Storytelling Over Advocacy
Rather than prioritizing advocacy, IN Schools emphasizes telling the authentic stories of students, staff, and districts. This approach highlights the successes and challenges within schools, creating a relatable and compelling narrative that resonates with the community.
Education on Foundational Concepts
The campaign seeks to educate the public about essential topics, including school district finances, property taxes, and the broader impact of community investments in education. By addressing these foundational concepts between election cycles, IN Schools helps build informed and engaged communities.
IN Schools compiles and maintains a comprehensive research bank to support its efforts. By gathering data on topics such as economic impact, the campaign equips advocates with resources to better represent bonds, levies, and other school funding needs to the public.
Unlike time-limited election campaigns, IN Schools is a long-term initiative. This ongoing commitment ensures sustained trust-building, education, and advocacy for the benefit of schools and their communities.
