Emergency Manager appointed for Muncie Community Schools

Last Friday, the Indiana state legislature passed a bill that required Muncie Community Schools (MCS) to have an emergency manager due to the "fiscal impairment" of MCS. The bill passed 50-0 in the senate and 88-10 in the house.  The bill was passed late in the evening of the last day of the session. MCS will have until December to show some positive change in its fiscal situation. At that time, a decision will be made as to whether or not to declare MCS a distressed unit or grant MCS autonomy to run its affairs. An emergency manager will be appointed to lead Muncie Schools through this process.
