Lindsey Cornett is asking the Marion Superior Court to put her back on the ballot for the Indianapolis Public Schools board of commissioners after she was removed for not meeting criteria to list her party affiliation. -
The Marion County Election Board unanimously deemed a challenge against Cornett to be successful, while rejecting a challenge against Chris Bultman. Both challenges were based on the candidates’ party affiliation. -
The coming school year will likely bring significant changes for Indianapolis schools, but the first day of school was all about building excitement and literacy skills. -
Bultman will serve on the board until January, when an elected District 4 member will be sworn in. Both finalists for the appointed position said they are running in November. -
The IPS school board seat is open after Allissa Impink resigned earlier this month. District 4 represents the southwest part of the school district. -
When students in Decatur Township head back to class this August, they’ll start and end their days at new times. -

When Mary Easley was in high school, she took cosmetology classes at the career center. While she still became a licensed cosmetologist, Easley watched her instructors and an interest in teaching grew. -
