Hello from Chalkbeat Indiana! Let me catch you up on the election action from late last night.
Indianapolis voters approved a tax measure for IPS and charters by a comfortable margin on Election Day, according to unofficial results. Meanwhile, 4 of 5 incumbents on the IPS board won their elections.
Local education leaders stressed before the election that if the referendum failed, the district could be facing insolvency and a state takeover.
