Legislation would dissolve IPS, four other school districts

Date:

Indiana lawmakers have introduced a bill that would dissolve the state’s largest public school district.

House Bill 1136, authored by Rep. Jake Teshka (R-North Liberty) proposes converting 50 schools in the Indianapolis Public Schools district into charter schools due to enrollment shifts.

Four other school districts would also be disbanded under the legislation: Gary Community Schools, Tri-Township Consolidated Schools in LaPorte County, Union Schools southeast of Muncie, and Cannelton City Schools near the Kentucky border in Perry County.
