Yes, I have three children currently enrolled in IPS schools (7th grade, 5th grade, 4th grade). We enrolled our oldest child in our IPS neighborhood school after moving to Indianapolis in July 2019. Choosing district-run schools has been a priority for our family, because strong public schools make for strong communities. My husband and I wanted our children to be educated alongside their neighbors, in a diverse community. As an IPS family, we have navigated enrollment, special education, COVID, Rebuilding Stronger, and the ILEA/IPEC transition along with many other Indianapolis residents. I believe this gives me a unique and important perspective on how Indy residents experience our school system and what they hope to see from our district moving forward.
