A Fort Wayne superintendent will speak about school funding at the Performing Arts Center, 1 Tiger Lane, Warsaw, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Nov. 7.
Dr. Phil Downs, superintendent of Southwest Allen County Schools and Indiana superintendent of the year, will present “Follow the Money: An Analysis of Why Public Education Funding is not keeping pace in Indiana.”
Downs will talk about how much state spending has increased while the funding of public schools is behind inflation, how vouchers further impact that negatively, where the voucher money ends up, and how there is no public accountability for how voucher dollars are spent.
