I can’t wait until the state gets rid of IPS and Gary schools and … the educational outcomes get even worse. And the resulting charter schools come up with all kinds of reasons why they don’t want to accept the especially hard students that cost real money to educate and could drag down their barely adequate test scores.
Maybe what we need is Bob Behning to anoint himself king of IPS. Because, clearly, we aren’t seeing better educational outcomes by defunding public schools for charters … because we are doing it wrong. Let Bob have totally free rein and show the world how it’s done.
It gets worse… when the state dissolves a school corporation, they’re not really dissolving it. They’re just taking control at the state level, and they’re doing it before July 1 2028.
The current five member school board voted on by citizens goes away and is replaced by a seven person board, with four appointed by the governor, one by the executive director of the Indiana charter school boards, one by the local mayor, and another by the county. Which means that costs go up because … you’ve now got to pay 7 school board members and the resulting costs. But that’s OK, because also by law, that new state school district is prohibited from asking citizens to vote in a referendum for more money.
Also, the central office goes away … presumably leaving all those kids with special needs to fend for themselves. And, transportation departments? Those go away too.
What a doozy of a bill. I’m assuming that if local school boards “agree” to “share” more money with charters, it might go away.
Joe, the Democrat John Jacob, predictably defending the IPS track record
That’s funny, Chuck. Because John only had one issue and I complain about multitudes.
IPS is told to engage with charters. They now have agreements with over 20 of them. Now … their reward is they get shut down because they did what they were told to and those don’t count as their kids any longer?
Union Schools is small school district with under 400 kids .. that also has a virtual charter school with over 7500 kids. That doesn’t count, so they go away too.
People claim they want local schools to change and innovate. They do so, and their reward is that the governor comes in and appoints the school board for them. Why don’t we just get rid of all local school boards and make the entire state a charter school system?
It’s a dumb law. I mean, how does it make sense that if a school district ceases to exist, it needs a larger school board?
Indiana. Giving Mississippi a run for its money (which ain’t much truth be told)!
