Leaders from various charter schools in the Indianapolis Public Schools district are calling on IPS to share possible referendum dollars coming into the district if approved by voters next year.
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.
