  1. A big thank to the endowment for largely ignoring the advice to divest the vast majority of it’s Lilly stock in order to diversify. The company’s enormous success has fueled these incredible gifts!

  2. Well, no doubt this is fueled by the abject failure of many parents and the schools that seek to educate their kids and I hope in five years, we can look back and say how successful this effort was.

    I’d like to see a combined effort at the state level to fund true school choice for all. Remember, the wealthy have universal school choice! It’s the poor and the middle class that are left in corrupt “school systems” more concerned with wokeness than academic achievement and they fail the kids!!!

    If the sate offered $7,000 per kid in vouchers and Lilly subsidized that amount, kids with talent wouldn’t be stuck in an under-performing school.

    1. You can thank your state republicans for destroying the curriculums of our schools and then making it even worse at the local level.

      Fishers schools and washington township announced they are no longer teaching social studies or science in K-6 anymore. we are dumbing down the next generation on a daily basis

    2. I don’t care if taxpayers want vouchers. First, the state must take care of its legal responsibility: a “free and appropriate public education.” It’s impossible to do that effectively if the current voucher and charter systems draw money from the same pot as public schools.

    3. In response to JJ Frankie J’s comment: I agree with your first paragraph. But science and social studies are still being taught in Wash Twp. in K-6. Just confirmed with a current parent.

  3. Research proves that early education is the best path to better learning in subsequent years, so a top priority for IPS should be providing free universal Pre-K education. The Lilly grant program offers Indianapolis public schools a game-changing opportunity that would prove priceless for our kids.

  4. 20 BILLION dollar education budget in Indiana and “referendums” … revamp school administration!
    This is INSANE that Eli Lilly and others are providing MORE money to get wasted.
    Wake up – fire your school boards and administrators!!!
