People have been breaking into the former Abraham Lincoln Public School 18 over the past few years and matters have only gotten worse.

How Plainfield's Pizza King became a new hub for Indiana political hopefuls

The de facto hub for Indiana political hopefuls isn't the Convention Center or the Statehouse: It's a Hendricks County pizza staple. Indianapolis-area favorite Pizza King's Plainfield location is fielding both praise and protest for hosting a slew of political figures for a meal ahead of the Nov. 3 general election. The restaurant made headlines after Democratic secretary of state candidate Beau Bayh stopped for lunch , which led to a string of other candidates and politicians from across the aisle making the trip in the final campaigning opportunities before voters hit the polls. Seth Grant, who opened the Plainfield Pizza King with his wife in 2022 and now helps run its marketing and social media as a volunteer, said the attention has been "overwhelmingly positive." "We never intended that it would be a political circus, but it also sparked me to think, 'Well, maybe we could use it as a platform,'" Grant told IndyStar. "It gave a lot of our customers the opportunity to ask sometimes-pointed questions of these folks that stopped in. Overall, it was a good thing." The political pie in play is an extra large with an array of toppings, so to unpack things slice-by-slice: Bayh made

Voters approve Indianapolis tax measure for IPS and charter schools

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Voters approved a $95 million tax measure benefiting Indianapolis Public Schools and the city’s charter schools , according to unofficial Election Day results. With all of the vote centers reporting, roughly 63% of voters voted in favor of the referendum, and 37% voted against it. The additional revenue is crucial for a variety of programs and staffing, district and local charter leaders have said. Out of the total funding, $63 million will go to programming, including services for students with disabilities and students learning English. The remaining $32 million will support staff retention and professional development. The newly formed Indianapolis Public Education Corporation is overseeing the referendum for the first time this year, after assuming the taxing powers previously held by IPS. The stakes attached to the referendum were especially high for IPS. Last week, IPEC Executive Director Karega Rausch echoed a warning from district Superintendent Aleesia Johnson that if the tax measure fails, the district could face insolvency and a state takeover .

This Indiana Attraction Combines State History, Giant-Screen Films, and a Walk Along the Canal

A mastodon named Fred lives downtown, and he shares a building with a six-story movie screen. That alone should earn a road trip. I like when a museum refuses to pick just one personality. Outside, the walls are made from Indiana limestone, sandstone, brick, and steel. A huge brick cylinder...

IPS election results could extend conflicts with charters but change balance of power elsewhere

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Indianapolis Public Schools board incumbents won four of five races in Tuesday’s election, unofficial results showed, which could prolong conflicts with charter schools but change the district’s relationship with state lawmakers and a new entity exerting some control over city schools. District 3 was the exception — incumbent Hope Duke Star trailed two other candidates, including Daqavise Winston, who led with 34% of the vote as of Wednesday afternoon. The winners will take office as responsibility for IPS buildings and transportation shifts to the Indianapolis Public Education Corporation, a body created by lawmakers this year to share resources between the district and charter schools. Both groups are celebrating voters’ support for a tax measure for schools at the polls on Election Day. How the board members approach a working relationship with IPEC , as well as the city’s robust charter school sector, could influence how this process unfolds . Already, the charter school sector has complained about the district’s decisions to step back from
