INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis Public Schools will switch to e-learning Monday due to a high number of teacher absences. News 8 previously reported that Marion County’s Pike Township Schools and Monroe County Community School Corp. would have e-learning days for the same reason. Th e Indiana State Teachers Association has planned a Day of Action at the Statehouse starting at 10:30 a.m. Monday. It’s one of several Day of Action events that the group has had during the 2025 legislative session. It comes as state lawmakers are nearing consensus on a bill to overhaul the Indiana property tax system. At Indianapolis Public Schools, students will be expected to work independently on assignments, which will be due on April 21. Families are advised to look for communication from their schools regarding their students’ assignments. It’s call an asynchronous day. IPS says since it’s already used all of its allowed asynchronous days for the year, an extra in-person day will be added to the school calendar to meet the Indiana Department of Education’s requirement of 180 days of instruction. That means that last day of school for students will be moved to May 23, and, for staff, it will be May 27. ...read more read less
