Innovation schools are part of the IPS district and operated by charter organizations and nonprofit school managers. So far, IPS believes they are the only Marion County school district to partner with innovation schools to provide online learning next year. However, Perry Township said they will not provide an online learning option. This agreement makes IPS the sixth Marion County school district to provide a virtual learning option next year, following announcements from the Pike, Lawrence, Speedway, Warren and Wayne schools. The five-year plan could cost the cash-strapped district up to $1.5 million in the first year. Commissioner Taria Slack was absent for the vote. The agreement passed 5-1 with commissioner Susan Collins opposed. Paramount Schools of Excellence and Phalen Leadership Academies will provide fully virtual learning options to any student, as well as those enrolled through IPS. The Indianapolis Public Schools Board of Commissioners approved a new partnership with two local charter school operators to provide online learning options next fall, during their Thursday school board meeting. Superintendent Aleesia Johnson said the schools will offer opportunities for students that are similar to a learning hub model to provide some in-person assistance or tutoring if additional support is needed. ![]()
