"This, right here right now, is how teachers are being disrespected," said one man at Wednesday night's Hamilton Southeastern Schools board meeting.
He was referencing a new proposal from the district to build a charter school with an emphasis on career and technical education, or CTE.
HSE already offers several CTE programs, like welding and music production.
However, Steve Loser, director of K-12 Initiatives, said the district can offer more.
"We have a philanthropic funder at the table right now willing to partner," Loser said.
The proposal comes from an out-of-state company called Opportunity Education. The plan outlines the construction of Fishers Prep Public Charter Innovation Network School.
Opportunity Education would staff the charter school, which is designed to serve high school students interested in CTE.
