I will absolutely vote NO on a resolution to increase property tax to fund this unelected board. This board is a total power grab and takes authority away from the people and gives it to a select “elite” few. The board is a sham! Another example of the Republican super majority in the Indiana House & Senate who created this “Corp.” taking away local authority and usurping the will of the voters. It is undemocratic and immoral! This board should be ruled unconstitutional and abolished!
Give the money to IPS (the elected board) to help them succeed, rather than chipping away their resources, then saying, “see, IPS is a failing system.” IPS didn’t fail Indiana, Indiana failed IPS!
A strong NO, especially if a dime goes to non-IPS charters.
So, the first item of business at the very first meeting is to raise property taxes. Priceless!
Maybe read the article first before commenting…
Maybe they ought to study the administrative staffing, spending and utilization of the existing bricks and mortar before they go asking for more money.
So finally Sauron, aka David Harris, has achieved control over Indianapolis Public Schools. With the help of Bill Gates, for instance, who at the Mind Trust’s prompting dropped a quarter-million on an IPS board election not long ago. The billionaires and out-of-town Republicans have at last achieved the disenfranchisement of our city’s electorate. Assisted by purchased Democrats Bart Peterson, Maggie Lewis and others.
Might as well just fully shutter IPS and remove all remaining vestiges of democratically responsive school governance. At least that would be honest.
Memo to the consultants and others who have NEVER taught in a classroom:
How do you propose to run a bus route concurrently with charter and non-chartered students? The same route with the same bus? I hope the students know when to board and/or exit the bus. I feel for the bus drivers.
I hope IPS can financially say, “We opt-out of the facility plan.” I can envision a maintenance or tech problem and the teachers are instructed to call the help-desk. “What school and city are you calling from?” Whether charter or not, the only money that needs
to be redirected is to the classroom. Period.
So, this board was created because IPS is “wasting tax payer money”, and the first thing they ask for is 3% of IPS money to pay themselves. The state didn’t even have the nerve to fund this board!?!?! Let’s just create more overhead to waste more tax payer money!!!
This nonsense would never take place in Zionsville, Westfield-Washington or New Pal. Where is the teacher on the board instead of an attorney?
