Indiana teachers have until Nov. 15 to negotiate their new contracts. Here's a look at what they're currently being paid.

A referendum would cost an estimated $6 per month for most homeowners.

The Indianapolis Education Association urged IPS to prevent charters from opening in closed schools and voiced other concerns with the Rebuilding Stronger plan.

Teachers and parents are pushing back against plans to restructure IPS and close schools.

Educators stood outside the Indianapolis Public Schools main office Thursday evening to raise concerns about a district proposal to close schools.

After a rise in COVID cases in May, some IPS teachers hope the district loosens the attendance requirements for this semesters bonus, as well as for $2,500 in future payments through fall 2023.

Indianapolis Public Schools offered retention bonuses in late March to 3,200 eligible staff members, but they came with an attendance requirement that staff couldn’t take more than two sick days for the remainder of the semester.

The hike is part of a two-year union contract approved Thursday that will give an average 3% raise for teachers this school year and another 3% next year.
