After years of low test scores, high staff turnover, and a short-lived turnaround plan, James Whitcomb Riley School 43’s community backers are taking matters into their own hands.
A group of advocates known as the Butler-Tarkington Education Committee has submitted their vision for James Whitcomb Riley School 43 and is working with IPS on a memorandum of understanding about how to overhaul the school.
The IPS board approved the Near Eastside Innovation School Corporation, which utilizes a community support network for families, to run Washington Irving School 14.
The unanimous vote to approve the Near Eastside Innovation School Corp. to run the school follows the district’s decision to drop Urban Act Academy the charter operator that has run the school since 2018-19 from its Innovation Network.
