I will work to get the federal government out of Indiana education and leave education decisions to states, local school districts, parents, school boards, principals, and teachers.

"My mission on the education committee is to get Washington out of the business of education in states like Indiana... The federal government shouldn’t have anything to do with education decisions in Indiana. That should be left up to the states, local school districts, parents, school boards, principals, and teachers."

Banks commits to reducing federal involvement in Indiana education and shifting decisions to local and state actors.
