The Indianapolis Star posted a new story on its Web page Monday morning, and the Monday morning print edition features this piece on the front page, all about the proposal to establish a charter school in the Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) school district.

Reporter John Tuohy does a deep dive into the idea of allowing a charter school to provide career and technical education (CTE) opportunities for students in the local school corporation..  He quotes Steve Loser of HSE Schools (listen to my podcast with Mr. Loser on this issue at this link) talking about what the proposal would entail.  Tuohy also quotes opponents of the charter school within the HSE District.

Reporter Tuohy also quotes Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness in the story.  Here is a little of what the mayor had to say in the Star:

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said he supports exploration of the charter school and said it could prove to be “a bridge to future jobs in our community.”

“It is something being discussed across the state and the country,” he said. “I hear every day from companies asking where is their workforce going to come from. Everyone is trying to figure out how to do it.”
