IPS School Board Election Deep Dive | Indianapolis News

Five seats on the Indianapolis Public Schools Board are up for grabs in this pivotal November election — the first since a new mayor-appointed board took over key district responsibilities. Fifteen candidates are vying for spots, including five incumbents and newcomers filling vacancies, with District 3 and the at-large race heating up as the most competitive. A major shift? Candidates can now run with party labels — mostly Democrats — a rare move in central Indiana. One candidate was disqualified under new partisan rules. Voters must choose carefully: district races require residency, while the at-large seat is open to anyone within IPS boundaries. With early voting starting October 6th and Election Day on November 3rd, don’t forget — school board races aren’t part of straight-ticket voting. And even if voters approve a new tax measure, budget cuts of $20 million are still looming. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
