Two distinct proposals are pending at the General Assembly to create a new school board to replace DUAB as the primary governing authority for Gary schools.
The school district must remain under DUAB control until the General Assembly approves a state law specifying a new governing body for the Gary Community School Corp.
GARY â The Gary Community School Corp. is sharing this week the first in a series of new quarterly reports tracking progress in district turnaround efforts.
The two-page report shares a general overview of four pillars established in a Path Forward plan revealed this summer after the state opted to continue its relationship with Gary Schools Recovery, a subsidiary of management services provider MGT Consulting.
The report plays up recent successes such as increased student enrollment and course offerings at the Gary Area Career Center, the creation of new school advisory committees and the launch this school year of a new 1:1 technology initiative in the Gary school district, which was taken over by the state in 2017.
