Too many schools are failing year after year, and there is no system in place that holds our public schools to account
Help re-establish accountability for schools to drive positive change and close the opportunity gap. Pledge to act this legislative session and sign up to testify at the statehouse.
The problem:
After years of hold harmless removed A-F from relevance and state takeover of schools was rolled back in law, real initiatives to turn around chronically low-performing schools have halted. Too many schools are failing our children year after year, and there is no system in place that holds our public schools to account.
The Solution:
Join us in calling for a law that forces locally driven intervention for longtime-struggling schools. This means local districts or charter operators with chronically failing schools would be given a series of options for how they will improve student outcomes.

What’s the data say?
All children are capable of amazing achievement in the classroom. It comes down to the opportunities provided by our public education system.
IPS partnerships with local public charter high schools are contributing to greater achievement for Black and Latino students in the district. On average, IPS innovation charter high schools are outpacing the state average for Black student outcomes on the SAT by 67%. This is evidence that partnership and collaboration in growing quality school programs can work to address the opportunity gap.
