Teachers unions and left-wing coalitions have long resisted mayoral control of urban school districts. But Chicago and Boston are testing that position, as cities like New York and Indianapolis also explore changing who’s in charge.

Several of the options presented by Indianapolis Local Education Alliance members would reduce the power currently held by the IPS school board. The clock is ticking — the ILEA must adopt final recommendations by the end of this year.

The moves dramatically accelerate a decades-long push by conservatives to eliminate the Education Department.

The practical effect may be something, but it represents something bigger.

The ILEA could include these potential solutions as part of its final recommendations due to state lawmakers next month.

We asked teachers around the country how they’re handling the giggles, shouts, and sometimes intense disruption caused by the 6-7 trend. Here’s what they said.

Stephen Paulson, a social studies teacher in Greeley, spearheaded a schoolwide service project that proved popular among students and staff.

“My 2025 bingo card has been turned upside down,” House Speaker Todd Huston said in Org Day remarks.

Voters still tend to trust Democrats more than Republicans, according to most polls.

Aligning IPS boundaries with Center Township would remove dozens of district and charter schools from IPS borders.

The raises are smaller than those offered in the prior two-year contract, reflecting the district’s increasingly precarious financial situation. The increases are available to employees represented by the Indianapolis Education Association.

Short answer: yes, but only a bit.

An Indiana program giving qualifying students grants for tutoring is reopening to enrollment after shutting down abruptly last spring.

Some groups have suggested increasing mayoral control of schools, either by reducing the number of charter authorizers, having the mayor appoint IPS school board members, or both. But how has that worked out in New York City and Chicago?

A fourth grade teacher at Central Elementary in Plainfield, Johnson shared her favorite lessons to teach and the best advice she’s ever received in 19 years of teaching.

Reports of the death of the bachelor’s degree have been greatly exaggerated.
