Chalkbeat Indiana @ChalkbeatIN · 12h 12 hours ago .@IPSSchools regains control of Arlington HS — the 1st IN district to get a school back from state takeover. ckbe.at/1tNTebY Scott Elliott retweeted Keith Clock @keithclock · #INSBOE members dont support e-learning as replacement for missed snow day of school, yet support virtual charter schools. The difference? Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 15h 15 hours ago .@Amoswtlcindy Just caught up with @FerebeeIPS who said @IPSSchools will restart planning on JMHS/Arlington. Merger is not certain. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 15h 15 hours ago #INSBOE approves a plan that gives management of Arlington high school back to @IPSSchools after 2012 takeover by the state. Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 15h 15 hours ago Heres our @ChalkbeatINs story: #INSBOE takes control of the state takeover process from Glenda Ritz and IDOE. ckbe.at/1rXLLaP Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 15h 15 hours ago #INSBOE plan creates special @IPSSchools oversight for lead partner schools: Marshall, Washington, Broad Ripple high schools plus Arlington Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 15h 15 hours ago .@IPSSchools has said it plans to close John Marshall HS and merge its students into Arlington HS with more district oversight. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 15h 15 hours ago The Arlington plan is hard to explain. The school technically stays in takeover, reporting to #INSBOE, but the district is back managing it. Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 15h 15 hours ago Now @IPSSchools is asking to take Arlington HS back to be managed by the district. That would be a first. It was taken over in 2012 #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 15h 15 hours ago .@CSUSAhq Also wants to expand Donnan to K-8 or place a K-6 charter school within Manual. Would need changes to state law. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 15h 15 hours ago #INSBOE awards @CSUSAhq a new 2 year contract to run Howe, Donnan and Manual. They wanted a 5 yr contract. Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 15h 15 hours ago Were getting read to vote on some specific changes for Indiana takeover schools run by @CSUSAhq. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 15h 15 hours ago The state board votes 9-2 to approve the recommendations giving #INSBOE more control over state takeover. Ritz and @CariWhicker voted no. Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 16h 16 hours ago Weve hear this debate before. Ritz said #INSBOEs consultant didnt talk to her. Board members say she didnt come to the meetings. Scott Elliott retweeted ISTA @ISTAmembers · 16h 16 hours ago Ritz: Public Impact, out-of-state company, didnt even interview DOE once. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 16h 16 hours ago Board member @CariWhicker is uncharacteristically angry, telling Ritz not to use a condescending tone. She says Ritz doesnt talk to #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 16h 16 hours ago Its getting a bit testy among Glenda Ritz, @MUPresidentDan and Tony Walker. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 16h 16 hours ago .@MUPresidentDan says this doesnt matter. That #INSBOE will ask for legislation, if needed, to make itself eligible to receive fed grants. Scott Elliott retweeted Stephanie Wang @stephaniewang · 16h 16 hours ago #INSBOE reminds me of babysitting @RyanSabalows girls, ages 3&4. Neither wanted to do what other wanted. The little one punched the big one Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 16h 16 hours ago The #INSBOE argument is whether the state board can manage federal grants, and receive admin fees, as proposed. Scott Elliott retweeted Stephanie Wang @stephaniewang · 16h 16 hours ago Ritz: You’re really recommending that the State Board of Ed become the state’s education agency in place of IDOE. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago #INSBOE is taking a 10 minute recess. Phew! Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago The debate over this is pretty intense. Basically Ritz sees this as another power grab. #INSBOE thinks it can better manage takeover. Scott Elliott retweeted Steve Hinnefeld @SteveHinnefeld · 17h 17 hours ago Following #INSBOE on Twitter is like watching car wreck. Must avert eyes! @StephanieWang @ScottElliott_IN @morellomedia @nkellyatJG Scott Elliott retweeted Stephanie Wang @stephaniewang · 17h 17 hours ago Ritz to @drbradoliver: I have authority. #INSBOE Scott Elliott retweeted Stephanie Wang @stephaniewang · 17h 17 hours ago .@drbradoliver Ritzs tone is you do what you want and Ill do what I want Ritz: There is some defensiveness bc trying to take authority Scott Elliott retweeted Stephanie Wang @stephaniewang · 17h 17 hours ago @brentkent @WIBCRaySteele @93wibc What reporters were given by IDOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago Ritz is arguing her process for improving low scoring schools is working and these changes are not needed. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago 7. Dump lead partners. Instead, districts can create transformation zones modeled after Evansville, which include feeder schools. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago 6. HB1321 authority IPS got last year to create charter partnerships goes to dists w/ 2 schools in intervention. Needs legislation. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago 5. #INBSOE wants to takeover authority and funding for building maintenance and busing at takeovers. This needs legislation. Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago 4. #INSBOE wants new state funding for grants for takeover schools and emergency funding repairs at them. This needs legislation. Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago 3. Oversight of state intervention/takeover would move from IDOE to #INSBOE. Funding and data access too. Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago 2. The #INSBOE can take over school districts, not just schools for academic or financial failure. This needs legislation. Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago I will tweet some of the big changes proposed. 1. Takeover after 4 yrs F or D, not 6 yrs F. This needs legislation. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago The plan on the table has huge implications. One is shifting oversight, authority and funding for state takeover from IDOE to #INSBOE. Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 17h 17 hours ago Glenda Ritz is arguing her department has done a good job managing troubled schools, pushing back on a plan for #INSBOE to take more control Scott Elliott retweeted Ray Steele @WIBCRaySteele · 18h 18 hours ago Full day of stuff, but it includes monitoring #INSBOE, so I put on the uniform. Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 19h 19 hours ago .@drbradoliver calls for legislation to resolve the question of allowing e-learning on snow days. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 19h 19 hours ago .@MUPresidentDan: We have no business reducing school days. Its not leadership. #INSBOE Scott Elliott @ScottElliott_IN · 19h 19 hours ago .@MUPresidentDan and @drbradoliver hit Glenda Ritz hard on her proposal for snow day e-learning. #INSBOE
