This plan just doesn’t go far enough. IPS needs very deep cuts on the elementary level. At least 50% of the elementary schools should be on the possible closure list. I’m sharing here what I’ve sent via the public feedback form.
In my opinion, they need to evaluate all buildings with historic or significant value and sell them. We aren’t fancy and can’t afford sending kids to school in a historical structure that costs a lot of money to operate, even if it is in pristine condition. It costs serious money to keep it that way. But for what? I could see it if they were acclaimed educators and a full, award-winning system. Some of the buildings are so historical they have multi-million-dollar continuous maintenance schedules with constant upkeep needed. Then they need to look at the metrics and reports, focus on the bottom, worst performing schools, fire all those people and send those kids into schools that have a better chance at bringing them together and above the blight they’ve always known.
Waldo Emerson is the worst for the near Eastside. It’s always last and on the bottom in math, reading, literacy and any other metrics used. But why is it not on the list, especially when this idea is to support, “rebuild” and grow potential?
Only 1 in 10 are proficient in math, 2 of 10 in reading and it’s obviously there to keep the kids who go there away from any others as though it’s still perpetuating the very objective they’re trying to achieve here. If they were to eliminate Waldo Emerson, it’d improve the overall school districts numbers by 15-20% because it’s really dragging down the system that much. If they can just spread those kids out more, I believe they’d be able to make better friends who are more inspirational and positive for their future. Instead, they’re all grouped together without anything or anyone to aspire towards other than handouts, free lunches, free stuff and the kind generosities of local businesses. A school should NOT be run this way. The principal has been on disciplinary probation year after year for failing to meet basic minimum standards as well as the school. They are failing our neighborhood, the taxpayers, children and their futures as well as anything they may have achieved being elsewhere.
Then trying to get the parents to not clog up and back up the alley behind my house and park there for 30 minutes before school starts is impossible. I’ve raised so many issues with the principal that I’m probably going to have to go a board meeting to show how bad this problem has become, they have no respect for anyone’s home, yard or peace. Many times, I come home and can’t even get into my garage because the school is so mismanaged, they can’t keep things moving quick (or on the other side where the old bus loading zone was that is no longer used).
