Local control!
What hypocrisy – most of the suburban rings have already held such referendums to fund Zionsville, Carmel, Fishers schools etc. but now that IPS want to do the same Todd Fisher is concerned.
Here is an idea – why doesn’t the state simply increase funding to public schools so referendums aren’t necessary? Problem solved.
Just another of the many examples of Republican state legislators wanting to subvert the democratic power of the peoples’ vote. It’s surprising they don’t just simply suspend the Indiana state constitution altogether and embrace autocratic state rule because that’s in essence what they are doing with this topic. There is nothing “grand” about the old party any more.
I hear the reasons for limiting school tax referendums. It makes sense.
However, it should still be left to local control.
So the GOP wants public schools to request even higher property taxes so that charter schools get some of that money?
Charters promised to do a better job of education for LESS money. They haven’t kept either promise. To add insult to injury, now they are somehow financing expensive television ads saying they need the same amount as public schools.
Charters turn away (or counsel out) the kids who are more expensive to educate – special ed. and non-English speaking students. Charters don’t provide vocational education or transportation. Charters are concentrated at the less expensive elementary and middle school levels rather than the more expensive high schools. AND charters get to buy closed, multi-million dollar public school buildings for $1 – you read that right – one single dollar, without paying the public district for the expense they’ve underwritten to build and maintain that building or to reimburse the district for the property on which the closed building sits.
Charters also have not faced the same accountability for their poorer performance that traditional public schools have been required to face.
Charters have not fulfilled their promise. Instead of trying to finance 3 different kinds of school systems – traditional public schools, charter schools, and vouchered private schools and not doing well by any of them – let’s put all tax dollars back into traditional public schools and finance excellence again with highly qualified teachers who receive salaries high enough to pay off their college loans, buy a home, and send their own children to college. We’ll start to reverse Indiana’s brain drain when education is truly valued.
