Allissa Impink

Chris Bultman was appointed to the Indianapolis Public Schools Board of Commissioners to represent District 4, winning a 5-1 vote. He replaces Allissa Impink, who resigned after winning a state Senate primary, and will serve until January when a new representative is sworn in. Bultman, who works for a charter school organization, faces concerns about potential conflicts of interest, while his opponent in the November election, Lindsey Cornett, was initially denied ballot access due to filing deadline confusion.

The Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) school board interviewed two applicants, Chris Bultman and Lindsey Cornett, for a District 4 vacancy. Both candidates plan to run for the seat in the November election, which will fill the position left vacant by Allissa Impink's resignation. The appointee will serve until January 2025, when the elected member takes office, and will join the board during a critical period involving school board elections and a potential tax referendum.

The Indianapolis Public Schools Board seeks applicants to fill a vacant District 4 seat after Commissioner Allissa Impink resigned to run for Indiana State Senate. Applications close June 23, with an appointee selected by June 25 to serve until January 2025, when an elected member will take over. The November election will decide five of seven IPS board seats amid financial challenges and new governance by the Indianapolis Public Education Corporation.

Allissa Impink will resign from the Indianapolis Public Schools board in June, leading to five of seven seats being on the November ballot. Her resignation, following a Senate primary win, aims to ensure community input in her replacement. The board faces financial issues and a power shift with the new IPEC.
