IPS postpones the voting on the operational referendum
Indianapolis, Indiana – On Saturday morning, the Indianapolis Public Schools decided to postpone the vote on the $400 million operating referendum.
The Indy Chamber and other organizations have criticized the delay. According to the Chamber, no vote should take place until a strategy can be devised to appropriately address issues affecting the community and company.
According to the nonprofit EmpowerED Families, neither independent charter schools nor the IPS innovation network received any funding from the initiative.
Additional legislation, according to Tommy Reddicks, chief executive officer of charter school operators Paramount Schools of Excellence.
“We need to take a longer and harder look at when proposing this referendum. I think delaying this until the fall gives us the chance to put additional legislation in place and referendum hearing for everybody in this district,” he said.
Aleesia Johnson, the superintendent of IPS, expressed her disappointment at the governance team’s inability to come to a consensus. Johnson added that the Rebuilding Stronger framework is still a priority for the schools.
The IPS board unanimously decided in December to put the capitol referendum on the May ballot.
