Good morning from MJ at Chalkbeat Indiana! 

Enroll Indy told charter authorizers and IPS that they don’t have to pay for the enrollment system for one year. But IPS said the breakup isn’t just about money, and is sticking with its new enrollment system.

And, if you live in Lawrence, Perry or Pike townships, check out our candidate Q&As with school board candidates. We partnered with WFYI and Mirror Indy to report voter guides for all elected school boards in Marion County.

P.S. AI is moving into schools fast. So is the backlash to screen time. Join Chalkbeat reporters Lily Altavena and Alex Zimmerman on Oct. 1 for a members-only conversation about this tension and the technology choices schools are making right now. Donate any amount to become a member, support Chalkbeat’s independent education journalism, and reserve your spot. We hope to see you there!

Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
