Yesterday, advocates delivered a petition to IPS leaders. In total, over 1,000 community members in IPS ZIP codes signed this call for district leaders to develop a specific plan to grow the best schools for Black and Brown students according to state assessment data. And we had a great crowd of parents on hand to deliver the petition at the IPS headquarters to four IPS commissioners who attended the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While yesterday\u2019s event was great, it\u2019s the advocacy ahead that will ultimately lead to action by IPS leaders.<\/strong> \u00a0<\/a>That\u2019s why I\u2019m asking you to take two minutes to send an email to IPS board members. <\/a>\u00a0Closing the opportunity gap in Indianapolis Public Schools must be a top priority for education leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
