Two Indiana Charter Schools Are Competing To Buy A Building For $1

Two charter schools are competing to buy an elementary building in South Bend under a controversial Indiana law that forces districts to sell or lease closed schools for $1.
After the South Bend school board voted earlier this year to close Tarkington Elementary School, the state added it to a list of unused buildings that charter schools can buy. Two schools submitted letters of interest: Career and Success Academy of South Bend, which runs three schools in the city, and the Paramount Schools of Excellence, an Indianapolis charter network.
Stroud tenants are being priced out of buying their own home by surging property values in the district. In the year ending February 2021, average house prices increased by more than 10 per cent to £311,524 – 25 per cent more than the UK average. First-time buyers in Stroud forked out an average of £243,000 on their property – £52,000 more than in January 2016, according to Land Registry data. One Stroud resident stuck in rented accommodation is retired secondary school teacher Allyson Mountain, who wants the security of having her own home. “I’m 59 years old and I just want to be safe, I want to live in a house where I can drill holes in the wall and put some shelves up,” said Mrs Mountain, who trained at Archway School before teaching for the British Army and The Crypt Grammar School, Gloucester.
Gavin Williamson said secondary school pupils will not have to wear face masks under rule changes expected on May 17.
Students in year seven and above have to wear masks in communal areas and classrooms where one-metre social distancing cannot be maintained.
Now, the Education Secretary revealed the face coverings rule will be partially lifted no earlier than May 17 - with pupils still expected to wear masks in corridors and on school buses.
The mask rule - while not a legal requirement - proved controversial among parents.
Children were told if they refuse to wear masks when schools reopened on March 8, they may be kept apart from their friends - with one parent branding it mask apartheid .
