A “State of the Schools” event held this week provided an opportunity to review the six years since the Indiana General Assembly gave Ball State University oversight of the then-troubled Muncie Community Schools system.

Mearns, the collaboration — making Ball State the first university in the nation to oversee a local school district — has been productive, to the benefit of both students and their teachers.
