Charter School Company Gaining Indiana Foothold
A Florida-based charter school company is about to enter Indiana. Charter Schools USA will oversee the turnaround at three Indianapolis schools. Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Hage says they will remain traditional public institutions, but will have a new curriculum and an effort will be made to get parents more involved. In an interview with Inside INdiana Business Host Gerry Dick, Hage says his company could also have two new K-6 charter schools in Indianapolis ready for this fall.
