Public Access Counselor Luke Britt says there wasn't enough evidence to conclude a secret meeting of the Indiana State Board of Education took place.
Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma says he hopes Glenda Ritz and the State Board can work out their differences, but the legislature will intervene if necessary.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz adjourned Wednesday's State Board meeting without calling a vote and left the room.
The State Board of Education gave first-round approval to changes to Indiana's school accountability system.
Indiana schools will get their A-F letter grades Nov. 15, but state education officials won’t make those results public until after an appeals window closes.
The panel tasked with revising Indiana's A-F accountability system continues its work even as tensions build between the superintendent and the State Board.
Several members of the State Board of Education are asking State Superintendent Glenda Ritz to drop a suit alleging they violated Indiana's Open Door Law.
The Indiana Attorney General says Superintendent Glenda Ritz's lawsuit against the State Board of Education is "unauthorized."
At issue is how ten State Board members managed to approve and affix their signatures to a letter without "meeting in secret."
The State Board of Education wants the Legislative Services Agency to run the data used to calculate A-F letter grades.
