Todd Rokita, in his official capacity as Indiana Attorney General, et.al. v. Board of School Commissioners for the City of Indianapolis
23A-PL-2729
Civil plenary. Affirms Marion Superior Court Judge Heather Welch’s judgment that Indianapolis Public Schools is exempt from the Dollar Law under the 2023 amendments. Finds that applying the 2024 amendments retroactively would violate Article 1, Section 24 of the Indiana Constitution by substantially impairing the IPS board’s contractual relationship with VOICES as to the Bellamy 102 building. Also finds with the Brandes 65 building, that the Ips board has failed to establish that applying the 2024 amendments retroactively would violate any vested right or constitutional guarantee with respect to that building. Remands with instructions for the board to dispose of the Brandes 65 building in conformance with the Dollar Law. Finally, finds that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in staying its judgment. Attorney for appellant: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Section Chief, Civil Appeal Benjamin Jones. Attorneys for appellees: Bryan Babb, Bradley Dick, Jonathan Mayes, Dakota Slaughter.
