Indianapolis Mayor-elect Greg Ballard recently met with charter school leaders and pledged his support. Marcus Robinson, principal of Charles A. Tindley Academy, said he hopes that Ballard keeps much of the same authorizing staff in place, and he's excited about Ballard's term as mayor. "He has expressed a commitment to continue the city's work toward charter schools," he said. "We're very excited about that and the parents are very excited about that." Last year, Indianapolis Public Schools Superintendent Eugene White had suggested a moratorium on new charter schools. Ballard's full education plan has not been made available, but he seems poised to expand chartering in the city. "I favor the expansion of charter school opportunities," he said. "I already have met with the charter school folks. As long as they perform well, there will be no problems."
