It does not take into account the following critical factors for determining school locations: geography, academic programming/proposed academies, facilities & amenities, community resources, etc.

need for action This is an average of 2,373 students per high school In SY 1968–69, IPS had 26,107 high school students at 11 high schools This is an average of 764* students per high school Projected* for SY 2017–18, IPS will have 5,352 high school students at 7 high schools In the last 53 years, IPS has 20,755 fewer high school students but will only own 1 fewer high school Time to act is now

Combined relevant Taskforce experience of 223 years purpose IPS Strategic Plan 2.4 IPS will establish a facilities utilization committee to recommend strategic opportunities for supporting programmatic needs and student achievement Internal David Rosenberg, Operations Tricia Frye, Planning Paul Riley, Facilities Doug Kowalski, Risk Management Weston Young, Finance Greg Newlin, Innovation Office LaTonya Keaton, Finance Joe Gramelspacher, Superintendent’s Office External Jeff Bennett, Mayor’s Office Adrienne Slash, Leadership Indianapolis Mark Sausser, Faegre Baker Daniels Ezra Burdix, DTM Real Estate Nate Lichti, Illinois Facilities Fund (IFF) Bill Taft, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Brad Bobich, CEI Engineering Maury Plambeck, Indianapolis Neighborhood Resource Center House in district facility - outside of LEA Initiated by existing district school - within LEA Initiated by district leadership - within LEA Launch of new school - within LEA Combined relevant Taskforce experience of 223 years

taskforce guiding statements The Taskforce adhered to a finite role of reviewing demographic trends, citywide historical data, facilities, operational costs, academic models, revenues, community development, etc. The Administration will make a final proposal in June, 2017 that will consider the Taskforce recommendation along with academic programming and data, community feedback and several other criteria. Ensure the best possible learning environment for all students Create opportunities to collocate facilities and sell unnecessary buildings Maximize the use of the district’s high school facilities Develop a reuse plan for any building no longer needed by the district Safeguard taxpayer dollars by reducing operations, utilities, insurance and overhead costs to push more funding to classrooms Account for costs associated with transportation, IT, food service and other building operations

taskforce considerations general Academic models Parking Utilization rates Athletic facilities Deferred maintenance Reuse of buildings Utility and operational costs Outstanding bonds Transportation costs/run times Competing districts and charters

taskforce considerations instructional opportunities Additional personnel from the high school support teams being located in each building, streamlining scheduling and allowing more time in each school to support students More funding per school for intervention, along with more afterschool and weekend tutoring opportunities Increased ability for teachers to teach more classes and have more time for prep, in-depth interactions with students and professional development More course offerings at each school, especially for Honors and AP courses Better ability to improve the teaching talent pool due to increased staffing availability

taskforce considerations safety and cost SY 2017–18 projection of 37% utilization rate Capacity Spend $6,234,804 annually to operate underutilized facilities Facility Operations Projected to spend $6,236,185 annually to transport students to 7 high schools Transportation IPS has sold 7 buildings for just over $3M in revenue, while creating savings of over $200,000 in annual operational costs Sale of SCIPS ($12M) & Mallory ($1.65M) is currently pending Real Estate

timeline April April/May June July/August September Taskforce releases report and identifies how many high school facilities IPS should operate based upon demographic trends, facilities, operational and programming costs, etc. April Board conducts 5 community meetings for feedback on the report, concerns, questions and ideas April/May Administration makes recommendation based on Taskforce Report, community feedback, academic programming and several other criteria that names school(s) and possibly other building(s) to close Administration proposes high school Choice/assignment model Administration proposes academic programs to implement at high schools Administration and Taskforce identify reuse options at high school(s) slated to close June Board meeting at high school(s) slated to close and public comment July/August Board votes on final recommendations September

school enrollment trends

taskforce recommendation IPS should operate with 4 high schools for SY 2018–19 Reinvest savings into the classroom to continue increasing student achievement and attracting the best talent. ERS projects a minimum savings of $4M annually on redundant administrative functions. Operations projects savings of $3M annually on utilities and maintenance. IPS expects student growth in elementary programs, but will not experience an increase in high school population in the next 10 years. Demographic and school trends in Indianapolis, both historical and current, do not project an increase of high school students. Growth in the high school population will likely be in Innovation schools that operate outside of a traditional, large high school building. 4 high schools will accommodate the current enrollment projections as well as any changes based on increasing population or takeover schools. No existing academies or programs will be closed.
