Indianapolis voters will consider a tax increase for the city’s schools this fall

Indianapolis voters will consider a 37-cent-per-$100-assessed-value tax increase this fall to fund city schools, generating $90 million annually. The revenue will split $43.9 million to Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) and $43.9 million to participating charter schools, aiming to prevent staff cuts and a state takeover, though the district still faces $20 million in future budget reductions.
