Resources

Phase 1, which focused on vision and setting priorities, ended in late October. Since then, the IPS Board of School Commissioners — along with the IPS administration — engaged with the feedback received and created the following tangibles:

  • Guiding Principles — A list of 10 attributes to ensure vision attainment.
  • Commitments to Our Community — A set of commitments aligned to IPS values that will guide future engagement, planning and implementation.
  • Stakeholder Input Report — A collection of the feedback received from stakeholders, including key themes and insights that detail the desired vision from stakeholders.

The four-phase approach includes planning and modeling as well refining and finalizing of a strategy born from the input and feedback from all IPS stakeholders.

The Rebuilding Stronger initiative is designed to reinvent, rebuild, redesign and rethink IPS’ family if schools, how it spends resources, and how to effectively leverage facilities — with the ultimate commitment of ensuring excellent schools for all students in all neighborhoods throughout the IPS district.
