Nearly two dozen struggling high schools in Indiana — including Riley, Washington and the former Bendix school in South Bend — are on academic probation and at risk of state intervention.
At 10 a.m. Friday at the Indiana Department of Education’s offices in Indianapolis, the state Board of Education will hear what the public thinks about a proposal it developed with assistance from the IDOE for what a school takeover would look like.
Among other things, the brand-new proposed rules say the state would have the option of merging a school on academic probation with a nearby higher-performing school or even closing the low-performing school altogether.
