Amazing. I recall hearing this guy speak at the GOP meetings and always felt he was, in brief, a total phony solely interested in growing his bank accounts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-39645901833632173202015-08-10T17:31:13.006-05:002015-08-10T17:31:13.006-05:00This interesting from the Mind Trust Web Site. <br /><br />In 2001, at the urging of then Mayor Bart Peterson, the Indiana legislature approved a law making Indianapolis the first U.S. city where the mayor has the ability to authorize charter schools, which are public schools that are independent from school districts and therefore have more freedom to make key decisions at the school level.<br /><br />Peterson selected David Harris, one of his policy advisors, to build and run the mayor&#39;s charter school office. Peterson and Harris knew that making this a reality would require creating enough great schools for every student to be able to attend one. They launched Mind Trust in 2006 to help do that.<br /><br />Board of Directors:<br />Bart Peterson<br />Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Communications, Eli Lilly and Company, and Former Mayor, City of Indianapolis (Chair)<br /><br />Mark Miles<br />CEO, Hulman &amp; Company<br /><br />If you want to check the financials they weak to say the least on details like how much is paid out on salaries. http://www.themindtrust.org/files/file/2014-final-collateral.pdfFloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383015097067413086noreply@blogger.com
