State Rep. Woody Burton is encouraging Hoosier students to apply for the Indiana House Page Program. Students 13 to 18 years old are offered the chance to visit the Statehouse and see a full day of legislative activity. In addition to visiting the Statehouse, pages have the opportunity to tour locations like the governor’s office, the Indiana Supreme Court, and the House and Senate chambers. Pages also have an opportunity to observe the legislative session, as well as help staff members.
“Paging at the Statehouse is a unique opportunity, and I encourage every student to take advantage of this program. One of my favorite parts of session is meeting with pages from my community, and sharing my experience as a state representative with them,” Burton said. “I hope to see many students from our community participate in the page program and learn about our state government.”
Burton said students who are interested in the page program are encouraged to schedule their visit as soon as possible. Students who serve as pages are excused from school for the day and are responsible for their own transportation to and from the Statehouse. Session starts Jan. 5, and runs through the second week of March. Recommended days to serve are Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays when the House is in session.
