The “P” in IPS should stand for Privatize
I have to give big time props to Indianapolis Public Schools for implementing a dress code. Students should come to school to learn, not look like they’re getting reading to star in an MTV 2 music video. You won’t find any videos on MTV anymore. However, if IPS really wants to take this to the next level, the District should look at privatization. And not just privatizing services like transportation, janitorial clean up or food service, but the entire District.
Hire a private company and let them run the District. I don’t see any reason why a private company could not step in, take over the management and start eliminating waste and fraud, while at the same time increasing and improving student performance.
We’ve already privatized the management of the Indiana Toll Road, the Indianapolis Airport and the water company. Why stop there. Let’s privatize the schools and see real results and real reform.
