With a total enrollment of 400-500 students, a high school is small enough to maintain an intentional culture and large enough to offer a coherent curriculum.
SOUTH BEND â The South Bend Community School Corp. could see new competition for students after its Tarkington Elementary School closes this year.
Just shy of 7,400 students within South Bend district lines enrolled in charters and nonpublic schools this year, according to state data, and a new school opening in a building Tarkingtonâs size could mean a loss of over 300 more students and $2 million in per pupil funding.
With multiple charter schools interested in the Tarkington space, that loss is looking more likely.
South Bendâs Career Academy and the Indianapolis-based Paramount Schools of Excellence submitted formal interest last month to take over the Tarkington building under a state law that allows for the lease or sale of unused school buildings to charter schools for just $1.
WEST LAFAYETTE – Purdue Trustees adopted five of Purdue s Next Moves Friday, ways for the university to continue forward as part of its five-year, $260 million strategic investment.
Those five next moves, which came with accompanying presentations Friday, include: Plant Sciences 2.0, National Security and Technology, Purdue Applied Research, Transformative Education 2.0 and the Purdue Equity Task Force, which has had several presentations and updates in previous Trustee meetings.
“We believe we ve been thoughtful about this, we believe we ve been strategic,” Purdue President Mitch Daniels said. There are so many possibilities that could have made this list, but again we wanted to excel, and that requires concentrating resources, management, attention and all our assets, all those things will make the most difference in advancing our missions.
