INDIANAPOLIS — At an agenda-setting meeting Tuesday night, the Indianapolis Public Schools Board of Commissioners announced they will form a task force focused on student safety.
The announcement, in a statement read Tuesday night, says the decision stems from the video a former teacher allegedly recorded of a student attacking another student as part of a"fight-club" style of discipline.Like the entire IPS community, we are shocked and upset by the video of the former teacher at School 87.
To the many voices in our community that have weighed in, I want to express my gratitude. Our community’s voices are critically important. They have driven crucial conversations with the IPS team, as we work together with Dr. Johnson on solutions and next steps.
As Superintendent Dr. Johnson said, we must work together to prevent something like this from ever happening again. Dr. Johnson has already announced important district actions — IPS is reviewing protocols around how principals communicate with families and bringing on an external partner to interview families and staff at School 87. As a Board, we will be creating a new task force focused on student safety. We will share more with you on this as the work progresses.
This work will require collective action from us as board members and from district administrators, school leaders, and IPS staff — and YOU, the people who chose us to serve. In the coming days, weeks, and months ahead, we will be working hand-in-hand with Dr. Johnson and members of the community to understand what changes must happen.
