I'm grateful to have Kristine in my corner, both personally and as someone who has dedicated her own career to education. She knows how deeply I care about our schools and our community, and what it means to me to listen to students, families and educators.

That's exactly the approach I'll bring to the IPS Board. I'm ready to put that experience and commitment to work for District 3.

Kids should always come first. Thank you, Kim, for your support and for believing in the leadership I’ll bring to the IPS Board.

@BBrownIndy @INCharterInno The IPS board needs to show some leadership and engage on this issue. https://t.co/2rqaWgDWZF

The IPS board needs to show some leadership and engage this issue. Enough!! https://t.co/2rqaWgEuPd

Today's announcement by IPS that the administration has decided to terminate all innovation school contracts is deeply disappointing & immediately creates uncertainty for 11,000 students and their families.

Read our joint statement with @INCharterInno.

IPS is driving away families with their middle school policies. My latest update from the campaign trail…. https://t.co/fpzpOhswl9

[Redelman for IPS @RedelmanforIPS]

Fair question. And where is the board in all of this? My thoughts: https://t.co/vPnn1ZZNeK

[Brandon Brown @BBrownIndy]

Interesting that IPS noted in its most recent financial audit that an impact of HEA 1423 is participation in "unified enrollment" to "establish a single system where families can apply to to schools in the city, including IPS and charter schools."

What changed?

IPS spends AT LEAST $22k per student, which is far more than is cited in public polling. Indeed, even among teachers, the most commonly cited amount is only $5k per student. This system needs MUCH more transparency!

[Brandon Brown @BBrownIndy]

Most people are shocked when they find out how much per-pupil dollars we spend on K-12 education. The persistent narrative that school districts are blameless when it comes to rapidly increasing K-12 financial challenges defies reality.

[Brandon Brown @BBrownIndy]

So the teachers’ union opposes a $95M per year IPS referendum because it’s not big enough and charter students will benefit. Apparently IEA would rather IPS become insolvent and their union dissolve than see charter students receive fair funding.

Wild.

Enjoyed visiting @KIPPIndy today! I worked with their national founder @kippbigdog when we were passing Indiana’s charter law - so it was a long overdue visit. It’s now an IPS network school - and really THE neighborhood school for Martindale Brightwood.

AT LEAST $22,000 per student in IPS. The referendum is likely necessary to prevent chaos next year; but voters and taxpayers deserve to know this - as do teachers and parents!

Regardless of your view on this referendum, it’s remarkable to see the Indianapolis district and charter communities coming together to support something that will benefit students in public schools of all types.

This just doesn’t happen anywhere else in the country.

Thank you, Shawanda! I look forward to working with you!!

💬 "Why Derek?"
We asked a longtime advocate and parent why Derek Redelman earned the endorsement of our parent, student, educator, and community-led committee.
Here's what Shawanda had to say. ⬇️
