IPS dissolution, budget and other issues to watch in the 2025 Indiana legislature

The article from MSN discusses several key issues expected to be addressed in the 2025 Indiana legislative session. One major topic is the potential dissolution of the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) district, following a recommendation by a state-appointed panel due to concerns over academic performance and financial management. This could lead to significant changes in how education is managed in Indianapolis. Additionally, the state budget will be a focal point, with considerations on how to allocate funds for education, infrastructure, and possibly tax relief. Other issues include debates over healthcare policy, particularly Medicaid expansion, and criminal justice reform, focusing on sentencing laws and prison reform. The session will also likely see discussions on environmental regulations, economic development, and the ongoing effects of the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including potential adjustments to emergency powers and public health measures.
