Indianapolis Public Schools

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.

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.

Julious Johnican, a first-year teacher, was filmed encouraging a student to keep beating a sobbing second-grader with disabilities at School 87 in 2023.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
