The Future of Washington Township Schools Needs YOU

When Kevin Buchheit, Washington Township Resident and School Supporter, moved to Indianapolis, he and his family first considered where they would find a strong public school system. Just as they invest in the upkeep of their home, they expect our district to consider and make the same kinds of investment decisions with its buildings and programs. Read more from Buchheit's perspective.

Stay Connected After June 8

Thank you for your engagement in our strategic and master facilities planning throughout this school year. We have appreciated your feedback at community meetings and through multiple surveys. Every piece of input has been helpful and we look forward to putting your ideas into action. On June 8th a recommendation will go to the Washington Township School Board to approve a referenda proposal that would go on the November 2016 election ballot. After June 8, Indiana state statute prohibits the school district from promoting a position on these ballot questions. Community members and supporters have formed a group to promote the passage of these school referenda from June 8 through the November election. If you wish to stay informed on those efforts and the campaign, please visit and bookmark the following website: https://goo.gl/dqgY2b
