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.

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.

The Indianapolis Public Education Corporation held its first meeting Tuesday, beginning work on a November referendum and the hire of a permanent leader.

The Indianapolis Public Schools board voted 4-2 Thursday to appoint Hasaan Rashid who lost the District 2 seat in 2024 to fill the vacancy left by Gayle Cosby's resignation.

The District 2 seat, formerly held by Gayle Cosby, represents parts of the east side of the district, including portions of the Near Eastside and the Far Eastside.

The Indianapolis Public Schools board is accepting applications for people interested in filling the vacant role of District 2 commissioner on the IPS school board.

Property tax reform, a mandate to share tax revenue with charter schools, and other factors have put new fiscal strains on the district.

The announcement at a Tuesday meeting comes as substantial changes for IPS are on the horizon that will dilute the elected school board’s power.

IPS Superintendent Aleesia Johnson says her top priority is maintaining stability for families as a new mayor-appointed board will take over large pieces of the city’s divided education system.

The Indiana Senate passed legislation, creating a mayor-appointed board to oversee IPS finances and facilities. It now heads to the governor.
