INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Public Schools has announced a $7 million funding reduction across the district for the upcoming school year.
IPS says it’s a result of funding challenges due to policy changes and declining enrollment.
The district says it’s basing funding for each school on individual enrollment numbers.
While IPS didn’t provide a breakdown of how each school will be impacted, Superintendent Aleesia Johnson said principals will notify families if there are significant changes planned for your child’s school.
The district said it’s also looking at whether to propose an operating referendum in November. Funding from a previous referendum, passed in 2018, expires this year.
