A bill that advanced to the Senate floor could shutter at least 20 IPS schools and eliminate hundreds of jobs, Superintendent Aleesia Johnson told lawmakers on Tuesday.
The latest version of Senate Bill 518, passed out of the Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee, would expand property tax revenue for charter schools statewide. It requires all school districts that have at least 100 students living within district boundaries and attending charter schools to share their operations tax revenue with charter schools.
As of today the bill passed the Indiana senate and is now (hopefully dying) in the house.
