A local charter school is trying to find its footing after its contract to operate within Indianapolis Public Schools was not renewed. Ignite Achievement Academy is in the process of searching for a new building as it prepares to meet some ambitious student academic goals next school year.

School management at a low performing school on the westside of Indianapolis will change again for a third time in six years. The Indianapolis Public Schools board voted Thursday to partner with start-up charter operator Liberty Grove Schools to run Elder Diggs School 42 next fall.

A start-up charter school operator could be chosen as the new manager of Elder Diggs School 42, a long struggling elementary school set to lose its current manager this summer.

Indianapolis Public Schools leaders did not renew the contract for Ignite Achievement Academy to operate Elder Diggs School 42 due to multiple factors, including instability among teachers and low academic performance.

The Westside charter school Ignite Achievement Academy will open in August as part of the Indianapolis Public Schools District.
