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.
