During a press conference on Friday at the Invent Learning Hub, an independent charter school on the southeast side of Indianapolis, speakers said that charters should get a cut of operating referendum dollars to ensure all IPS students are served equitably.
The charter school leaders are asking IPS to share the dollars with not only their innovation charter school partners but also with independent charter schools located within the IPS boundary. Since independent charter schools are not held accountable in the same way that innovation charter schools are, Johnson said, they cannot maintain the level of accountability that she promised the IPS community when proposing the changes under the Rebuilding Stronger Plan.
Kimberly Neal-Brannum, the founder of BELIEVE Circle City Schools, said in response to Johnson’s comment at Friday’s press conference that independent charter schools, like BELIEVE, are held accountable to the governing boards like the Indianapolis Mayor’s office which approved their charters.
Continuing to destroy public education .
HELL NO!!!!!
That's a big nope. Charter/private schools should NEVER receive tax payer money.
Absolutely not. Fund yourselves you parasites.
Da Fuq? No. No. No.
How about we take the charter money and give it to IPS, where it will actually do some good? invest in schools that help the majority of citizens. BTW, pay your teachers a decent salary.
My daughter teaches & the county had to close a 4A grade school & bus the kids across the county. A charter school in the county got an 8% increase last session & public education got 2%
No.
They would be in violation of their Charter. Charter schools are a form of intra-community segregation. They use admissions of underachieving urban kids to fund the successful, then let them quit while still collecting fed dollars. A big…
NO. FUCK NO.
Nope. I don’t want a dime of my tax dollars going to these schools.
Nope. Indiana is awash in property tax cash.
ArikaHerron What is the Mind Trust's role in orchestrating this 52 school demand? Could Tindley use this money or use it to free up other money it now uses to pay teachers etc, to fund its rent payments to MT? The MT owns all Tindley school bldgs as $11 million in off balance sheet assets.
ArikaHerron NO!
IPS has a lot of money already per student. Where is it all going?
State law prevents charter schools from drawing on local tax revenue and referendum $—why is this even a conversation? This is literally like finding out your neighbors received a bonus, so you go over there requesting that they share that money with you because it’s only fair.
Well of course they are.
Nah, y'all want to be independent so bad. Keep that same energy.
The charter schools already leech off of IPS, buying old buildings for a buck and encroaching on their grounds. What's not stealing what little money they have left?
hope they tell those charter schools
So they want to take funds away from an already underfunded system? What could go wrong?
r they not Independent of IPS?
