SOUTH BEND, Ind. — A charter school authorized by Education One, Trine University’s charter school authorizer, will receive a grant from the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE).
Career Academy Middle School in South Bend, Indiana, was recently named a recipient of a School Improvement Grant from the state. It was one of two South Bend-area schools to receive the grant.
Authorized under section 1003(g) of No Child Left Behind, the grants are awarded on a competitive basis to schools that serve a high percentage of low-income families and have demonstrated a need for additional resources.
The schools could receive up to $3.3 million through the grant. The money will be split into a one-year planning phase, followed by a three-year implementation phase.
Career Academy Middle School began the planning phase after a kickoff meeting with IDOE on Oct. 4. An Educational Transformation Team will begin meeting soon to guide the process of school improvement and transformation, and to oversee implementation of the grant.
Four projects completed by staff in Trine University’s Office of University Marketing and Communications were recently recognized with 2026 Best of District V Awards by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).
A team of Trine University master of physician assistant studies (MPAS) defeated other physician programs around the state to win the Student Challenge Bowl at the Indiana Association of Physician Assistants (IAPA) conference.
Staff from Education One, Trine University’s charter school authorizer, attended the National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, from Oct. 27-29.
