Mayoral School Rule Eyed

A group that includes influential members of Indianapolis’ political and business community has floated a proposal that could lead to mayoral control of the city’s school system.

The Indianapolis Star reported that the group — which includes executives from Eli Lilly & Co., Indiana Health University, former Mayor Bart Peterson and Lacy Johnson, partner at Ice Miller LLP — hope to win passage of legislation next year supporting the move.

If the bill were passed, voters would weigh in on a referendum in the fall of 2012, according to the Star.
