The final version of the plan would close six schools, one less than what was proposed under the original plan released in September, and would open previously shuttered buildings as new middle schools.
The district has seen pushback from other families during the past several months about the break up of K-8 schools and others saying that the programs replicated under the plan, like Montessori and Center for Inquiry, do not show enough positive results for students of color.During IPS’ October action session meeting, they announced multiple updates to the plan after hearing community feedback, most pertaining to specific schools.
The Center for Inquiry School 2 will no longer be merging with Washington Irving School 14, and both schools will remain open and operational but they will move from being a K-8 to a K-5 school for the 2024-25 school year.IPS has said they plan to end their agreement with Urban Act Academy, which is currently at Washington Irving school 14, and instead move forward with a contract for Near Eastside Innovation School Corporation to operate the school.
IPS also signaled they are open to possibly partnering with Paramount Schools of Excellence, and that leadership from both organizations have been in talks over recent months.
If the board approves the referendums in December then it would go to a public vote during the May 2023 election.
