Taskforce recommends IPS close 3 high schools

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – The Indianapolis Public School system is considering whether to close high schools.

According to IPS, most of the district’s seven high schools are at less than 50 percent capacity. A taskforce is looking into which ones will close.

However, a taskforce report recommends operating three fewer high schools for the 2018-2019 school year.

The taskforce will present their report to a board of school commissioners Tuesday.

There will also be a series of community meetings held in order to get public input.
