Good morning from MJ at Chalkbeat Indiana! Indianapolis Public Schools leaders will need to make decisions about how to address a budget deficit, regardless of what happens in November with the referendum.
Chicago Public Schools is also facing a budget deficit, and teachers aren’t happy about plans to close the gap.
Reach our team: [email protected].
P.S. Don’t forget to RSVP (for free!) to our next Chalkbeat Ideas event where we’ll unpack new data on teacher turnover. It’s at noon ET July 30 via Zoom.
Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
