One thought on “Money, power, enrollment trends favor charter schools over IPS as district’s future wavers

  1. This has to make many Republicans Lawmakers happy to see public education in Indianapolis destroyed and to have the whole system slowly balkanized and privatized.

    When the debate about the high cost of IPS running bus services came around, I wondered why nobody ever considered squaring up the IPS territory, and making all of the school systems in Marion County more closely follow township boundaries. I know the answer to that is that IPS would see giving up territory and students as a defeat, and none to the township districts would want “those” (mainly poor and minority) students in their system. I don;’t know if such a radical change would help students, but I am pretty sure it would devastate IPS by stripping off so many more students that they would be unable to function.

    But, since state lawmakers seem intent on killing off IPS, why not just carve up the county into 8 township school districts and make it quick clean killing blow for IPS. I think the one that I think is stopping that plan is State Lawmakers want to prove they were right and that IPS is “failing” with no blame on their part Plus if lawmakers overtly acted against IPS, voters would have to be REALLY ignorant to not blame law makers if things didn’t go well.
