Indianapolis Public Schools to Reevaluate Innovation Network Contracts Amid Budget Constraints

IPS intends to continue its partnerships but at the actual cost of the services provided, as current Indiana law caps what it can charge. The district plans to seek changes to this law during the upcoming legislative session in January.
