FISHERS, Ind. - There is uncertainty and concern surrounding a proposed charter school in Fishers.  The controversy led to hours of heated debate and public comment during Wednesday night's Hamilton Southeastern School Board meeting.  The meeting lasted more than three hours. More than 100 people packed together wall to wall, and it eventually became standing-room-only.  Dozens in attendance spoke out and many others waved signs of opposition.  At the center of the debate is whether Hamilton Southeastern Schools should grant an outside organization's application to open a charter school within the district. That outside group is a non-profit from Nebraska called Opportunity Education Foundation. The group is essentially applying to open up a charter school in partnership with Hamilton Southeastern Schools. Opportunity Education seeks to open a school that focuses on Career and Technical Education, or CTE. Organization leaders spoke during the meeting and shared a presentation. Following their presentation, dozens of people shared public comment, which primarily consisted of district community members condemning the idea of adding a charter school. Many who spoke said they do not want public school funding to go toward private education.  Speakers also raised concerns that this would take away money that should be spent on the district’s current students, teachers and classrooms.  Others, including CTE teachers, argued the district already provides career and technical education.  "Stop playing games with our teachers our students and classrooms," one person said. "HSE schools are not for sale." "I’m very concerned that the funding for this charter will come at the expense of our public school," another added. "A charter school funded by HSE schools is self-indulgent nonsense," one parent stated. "In an environment where our district is telling us it can’t cover increasing insurance costs, we should not be gambling a dime," one woman said. "Something doesn’t add up here.” "Please do what you were elected to do," another speaker demanded. "Support our schools, support our teachers keep them. Excellent don’t toss them out the window." After about an hour and a half of public comment, board members called Opportunity Education leaders back to the stand and asked them various questions for another hour. Opportunity Education will hold a public forum on Nov. 21 and the board will make a final decision on Dec 11.
