is due to the way the school corporations are set up. In Indianapolis, many of the school corporations are by townships.

Here in Fort Wayne, we have 3 school districts. One believe is totally within Fort Wayne while the other two include parts of Fort Wayne.

as smaller schools have consolidated in the last couple of decades.

Many of the townships in Marion County were not in Indianapolis when I was a kid so schools were based on townships and towns. Most retained their boards and districts even after Indianapolis spread to all of Marion County.

My daughter teaches in Owen County. There is only one school district there for all the schools.

I've been told after leaving today, they'll be out until April 5th (at least). I'm sure there are other counties near these who will do the same since they often share resources between counties.
