"People feel more comforted by when we know, where the line is," Johnson said about the infection rate.

Indiana officials are not using specific metrics to guide local school district leaders. Superintendent Aleeisa Johnson said there is an abundance of guidance from local and state health officials on how to open school buildings, but she wants "an anchoring point" on the infection rate for when school districts must make changes. "So we're balancing the data against the important services we provide to our families and to our children," O'Connor said. In mid-June the average infection rate was 5.4 percent. The county's most recent average infection rate climbed to 7.1 percent, over a seven day average. IPS Board President Michael O'Connor said the district of around 32,000 students is obligated to take steps to slow the coronavirus in Marion County, from mandating masks to delaying the start of school. The IPS Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the delay Saturday during its annual summer retreat - an hours-long public meeting held at the Central Library. Some students at Warren Township Schools will attend class in-person some days, and learn from home the rest of the week. Wayne Township Schools delayed its restart by two-weeks and Washington Township Schools will provide virtual-only courses for now. IPS joins other city school districts opting to push back the start of school or take other measures. Families may also reconsider whether they want full-time virtual learning when school starts - the original deadline to register was Friday. 17, instead of the previously planned Aug. In-person classes and remote learning will now begin on Aug. The reopening of Indianapolis Public Schools is delayed two weeks in response to the rising number of COVID-19 infections in the community.
