• High School Academic Model Planning: Commissioners will learn about proposed career academies
  and pathways for IPS high schools. The district wants to implement Choice Career
  Academies at every high school. The proposal will identify planning partners
  and a work-based learning framework.

• Preschool Admissions: Commissioners will learn the current state of preschool
  admissions in IPS. They’ll also hear recommendations and rationale for filling
  open seats while understanding the number of spots available and the demand for
  those seats.

• Additional Appropriation: IPS budgets are tighter than ever before. Therefore, IPS may
  need to request an additional appropriation. This additional appropriation
  represents a nearly 1 percent increase from the initial appropriation. This is
  an annual process.

• Classified RIF (Reduction in Force) Policy: Guidelines are critical
  to the implementation of student-based allocation, as it was intended. Changing
  the policy will give the necessary autonomy to school administrators to choose
  the staff working in their building. The Board will vote on the new guidelines.

• Presentation of Valedictorians and Salutatorians: From immigrating from another country
  to overcoming extreme obstacles, our 2017 valedictorians and salutatorians have
  graduated at the top of their class. The commissioners will recognize these
  scholars during the Board meeting.
