All school board elections across Indiana would be moved to the November ballot under bills advancing in the state Legislature.

The proposals would end the practice of allowing local boards to decide whether to hold the nonpartisan elections during the May primaries or the November general elections, starting with the 2012 races.

State figures show that for last school year, 195 school boards were elected in May, 78 were elected in November and 15 were appointed.

Supporters say having the board elections in November would increase voter participation, while those against the change argue it would take away local decision making.

The House voted 73-24 on Wednesday in favor of the proposal and it goes to the Senate, which earlier approved a similar bill.

  1. Back in my teens/early 20s, Chicago's in Greenfield was a spot where my friends and I ate on a constant basis. Chicago's has always offered good pizza and bread sticks, but after getting married and buying a home, their prices and locations have made it so I would only get their pizza once every three years. They have expanded into McCordsville, but sadly closed the downtown Indy store years ago (this was the coolest layout for a restaurant in my opinion).

    Just recently we decided to try Chicago's at the old Greenfield location. While it was clean, they haven't updated much over the last five years or so. Still the same layout, booths, tables, etc.. I made a comment to my wife about how that place hasn't changed in years. Good to see they are doing well enough to build a newer building.
