And, there's a flurry of opportunities coming up to learn more about Indy schools, the alliance and what's to come in the near future.

We pulled all those dates together in the story link below. Maybe I'll see you there? (4/4) mirrorindy.org/ips-indianap...

This all comes as the Indianapolis Local Education Alliance — a new group studying transportation and school facilities — grows closer to making recommendations likely to affect IPS and nearby charter schools.

Those recommendations are expected to come sometime before the end of the year. (3/4)

Did you know IPS operates more than a dozen schools in other townships like Wayne, Warren, Washington, Lawrence and Pike?

If you haven't taken a look at the IPS boundary map recently, you totally should. @mirrorindy.org's got a copy in this latest story. (2/4) mirrorindy.org/ips-indianap...

Some of these resources are available just to families of students. If that's not you, @tyfenwick.bsky.social has you covered with a broader list of community resources: mirrorindy.org/snap-payment...

Missed the meeting and want to go deeper?

@chalkbeat.org had a good story this week breaking down what alliance members learned about other cities' school systems. Check it out here: www.chalkbeat.org/indiana/2025...

@chalkbeat.org had an interesting look at TogetherEd and its goals earlier this year.

(FWIW, the Indianapolis Local Education Alliance meets again tomorrow night - 6 p.m. at the City-County Building.) (4/4) www.chalkbeat.org/indiana/2025...

IPS admins have specifically said they have the capacity to take on transportation for other schools. But, could this announcement be laying the groundwork for a collection of smaller schools to chart their own course without IPS? (3/4) ...

The announcement comes at an interesting time considering the Indianapolis Local Education Alliance is studying this same topics & has yet to deliver its end-of-year recommendations for public school partnerships in Indianapolis. (2/4) ...

As a reminder, ILEA formed this year under the direction of state lawmakers to study how charter schools & traditional publics in IPS boundaries could collaborate more on things like buildings & transportation.

More on that from earlier this year (3/3): mirrorindy.org/indianapolis...

So I decided to take a look back in this latest story from @mirrorindy.org to explain how a 14-year-old report from The Mind Trust is informing how we talk about IPS today — and who controls the district.
