The IPS Board is scheduled to meet Saturday and decide whether to ask voters to approve more funding for the district's Rebuilding Stronger plan.
The operating referendum would raise $50 million per year through taxes until 2031 for a total of $400 million.
The district says if approved, effective January 1, 2024, the $0.25 rate would replace the current $0.19 local property tax levy. “Through Rebuilding Stronger, we can drastically improve the student experience for ALL students. The future of Indianapolis and the future of Indianapolis Public Schools are deeply connected," IPS Superintendent Dr. Aleesia Johnson said on Jan. 19.
