Indianapolis Public Education Corporation

A coalition of Indianapolis Public Schools and charter school leaders launched a campaign for a new property tax referendum with early voting approaching in the coming weeks.

Eight school districts running referendums on the November ballot will share that revenue with about 60 charter schools as required by state law.

The Indianapolis Public Education Corporation approved the salary for Karega Rausch, the agency's first executive director, who oversees Indianapolis Public Schools and most of the city's charter schools.

Edward Rangel, a charter school founder and board member of the Indianapolis Public Education Corporation, will join The Mind Trust, an Indianapolis-based charter incubator, the organization announced Thursday morning.

Karega Rausch, a longtime national charter school advocate, was unanimously chosen to lead Indianapolis's new agency overseeing both IPS and charter schools.

Indianapolis' new schools oversight board named six finalists for executive director, including a sitting IPEC board member, as Mayor Joe Hogsett prepares to interview the applicants.

Indianapolis' new education board unanimously sent a four-year, 37.2-cent property tax referendum to the November ballot, splitting $95 million a year between IPS and roughly 60 charter schools.

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.

A mayor-appointed board is weighing how high to set a new property tax rate for IPS and Indianapolis charter schools, balancing educators who want more funding against taxpayers' concerns.

IPS Superintendent Aleesia Johnson announced $17 million in central office cuts, the latest step in an effort to close a deficit as enrollment falls and a fiscal cliff approaches.
