This is by no means a new idea. I first heard it discussed by serious people 30 years ago…before charters, before Mind Trust, long before ILEA…as a solution to “the IPS problem”.
It’s a reminder as to why the IPS boundaries were drawn the way they were back in the 1960’s … as opposed to just using the township lines.
Maybe now is the time to right that wrong.
This is really a sensible ides. Discussions about high busing costs really highlight the stupidity of following the old city boundaries. If you don’t chop it down to township boundaries, at least of the long “arms” should be lopped off.
The real question is could you get the other township school districts to accept the students and buildings. I think for the most part you may only be talking about elementary school buildings if you only chop off the “arms”.
why not consider divvying up IPS with all the townships – the creation of Unigov prevented this from happening originally
Unigov wouldn’t have happened in a world with integrated schools. People did not want “those people” in their schools.
I mean, look at how the lines were drawn. There’s a reason the federal government sued and we had busing for decades.
Joe B, the townships still may not want “those“ people.
The state may not give them the choice.
Maybe – but if all (and I mean all) the townships took a piece of IPS, that may stem the tide of the proliferation of Indianapolis charters and going after IPS and cherry picking students.
The governor and legislature might as well just take over IPS, no checks or balances, like they did with Indiana University. At least then there could be alignment between the funding controllers and the school system administration. Right now it’s just a stupid war, with Indianapolis students, families and the community at large as collateral damage.
I’d like the state to appoint Bob Behning as leader. He’s killing the district a cut at a time. Better to have him put some real skin in the game and responsible for outcomes.
