IPS says they don't have to sell closed school for $1, lawmaker disagrees
Seven Oaks Classical School in Ellettsville received a 5-year extension to its operating charter from Grace Charters LLC, a nonprofit formed by Grace College and Theological Seminary to authorize charter schools, which are publicly funded and privately operated. The board met on the Grace College campus in Winona Lake, Indiana, nearly 200 miles from Ellettsville.

"Indianapolis Public Schools officials are planning a May 2023 referendum to raise property taxes to fund the district’s Rebuilding Stronger plan. Charter schools – and there are dozens of them in the IPS district – want a significant share. IPS Superintendent Aleesia Johnson said that’s not going to happen."
