Just like other referenda, lots of people are going to be surprised at a) their taxes are going up much more than the talking point figure of $221, b) it will go up more every year as your property is assessed higher, c) none of this will affect measures of academic performance for the district at all.
Sadly, because of property tax reform inflicted on us by the state, these referenda are necessary to MAINTAIN district performance.
Reducing funding does not help schools prepare the next generation for a better life. I will be happy to pay a higher property tax for better education.
There is literally no link to school spending and student achievement, and in fact we spend significantly more in inflation adjusted dollars per student compared to 50 years ago to get essentially the same results.
you call that property tax reform?? the taxpayers get duped again. here’s an idea – only people who OWN property get to vote on this – after all it is their money that is getting wasted.
DD – That’s a silly proposition. The rent that renters pay cover the taxes on the property they live in. Just because it passes through the landlord doesn’t mean that they somehow aren’t contributing or don’t deserve a voice.
The double whammy referendum in 2018 is getting ready to expire, if they truly let it expire (it was a tax for 8 years). And, they just passed another one in 2023, which is on top of the 2 already in place. If I could EVER see where exactly all that money went, and if the new referendum “cancels” out the ones already on the tax bill, I would not have such heartburn that they are coming back to the til, yet again. Teachers say they didn’t get raises they were promised, buildings did not get repairs stated that I can see, they sold and/or closed number buildings in those years.
And, the quality of education certainly did not change for IPS. Their enrollment is shrinking, not growing, yet they burn thru cash like no other.
If any of these taxes are going to non-IPS controlled charter schools, then the answer is a big fat NO!
let’s see…so I will continue to get crappy schools, crappy roads, and crappy government?
AWESOME
This is a hard sell for me since half of money will be going to charters. Charters have broadly been a disaster and rife with corruption.
This is another lose-lose for Indy created by the Indiana General Assembly. Regardless of outcome, they get to do one of two things…
1) Referendum passes – Indiana GOP bashes Indianapolis for higher taxes.
2) Referendum fails – Indiana GOP bashes Indianapolis for underfunded schools.
The Indiana GOP is effectively executing an extortion on Indy. Either give the charter schools the money so charter operators can get bigger profits or let what little is left of public schools die and leave parents to jockey for what space in schools they can get.
The Indianapolis Public Education Corporation has gotten everything they wanted and a whole a lot more.
Without turning Indianapolis into a total charter school operation (see New Orleans schools all charter school system) they are now going to try to navigate facilities, busing, and referendum dollars.
I sincerely hope Indianapolis Public Schools can cut line-item non classroom items such as national or corporate consultants. Furthermore, let innovation schools pay for their OWN maintenance and utilities.
Get rid of the Educational Service Center that was built when IPS had 100,000 students and needed space for file cabinets. Lastly, if the “$1” law no longer applies, sell some real estate!
