Democrat Bart Peterson, the two-term mayor of Indianapolis, lost his re-election bid last week. Peterson, the nation's only mayor who can authorize charter schools, is a strong champion of the charter school movement. He successfully authorized 16 charter schools in the city and his rigorous application requirements and annual accountability reports have drawn national praise. Republican Greg Ballard, who won the election, has made little mention of charters, but charter advocates are hopeful that he will continue to support charter school growth and maintain a focus on accountability.
