2026 school board election

The Marion County Election Board will decide July 27 whether IPS District 4 candidate Lindsey Cornett stays on the ballot after an eligibility challenge.

Candidates have filed to run for Hamilton County school board seats ahead of the November 2026 election, the first since a new state law made the races partisan.

The 2026 elections could be critical for school districts across the Indianapolis area and the state.

Voters will choose five of seven Indianapolis Public Schools Board seats in the district's first partisan school board election this November. Here's who filed and why.

Indianapolis Public Schools Commissioner Allissa Impink will resign from the board after winning the Democratic primary for Indiana Senate District 46, leaving five of the seven board seats on the November ballot.
