The Indianapolis teachers union has agreed to support a proposed property tax referendum after initial opposition. This decision follows discussions with Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) leadership regarding potential layoffs. IPS confirmed that current budget cuts will not result in district-wide educator layoffs. The union's support is contingent on protecting educators and classrooms from financial challenges. The referendum is expected to generate significant annual revenue for district and charter schools.
