The Indiana Attorney General’s office says that the Indianapolis Public Schools district did not violate the $1 charter school law last November when IPS announced a plan to shutter six schools at the end of this school year.

On Tuesday the attorney general’s office said that all six complaints were unsubstantiated after IPS proved that the buildings were still being used and showed evidence of how the district intends to use the buildings after instruction ends this school year.

“Our interest is obviously just making sure that buildings that have been paid for by the public for a public school use, continue to be used for public school use,” Brown-Carter told IndyStar.The complaints centered on the six schools still set to close under IPS’s Rebuilding Stronger plan: Floro Torrence School 83, Frances Bellamy Preschool Center, George Buck School 94, Raymond Brandes School 65, Francis Parker School 56, and Paul Miller School 114.

The district said it was currently completing an “internal space needs assessment” to determine how IPS uses the closed facilities in the long term. What the six buildings will be used exactly for in the future is currently unclear.
