CSUSA was nominated by the state to turn over three failing schools in Indianapolis. a first-in-the-nation type project. The three schools Thomas Carr Howe Community High School, Emmerich Manual High School, and Emma Donnan Middle School. The schools are now given over on a performance contract, which grants the operator, Charter Schools USA, four years to improve.
The turnaround process was first put into motion by a 1999 law, which said schools with student standardized test scores in the lowest category for five straight years could face intervention from the State Board of Education.
