(MUNCIE) - The League of Women Voters of Indiana has dropped its opposition to proposed legislation that would turn the management of Muncie Community Schools over to Ball State University.
The organization says it changed its stance because the university would be less likely than the state-appointed emergency manager to cut art, music and other classes.
League spokeswoman Linda Hanson says the group made its decision after hearing from Ball State President Geoffrey S. Mearns and emergency management team leader Steve Edwards.
But BSU spokeswoman Kathy Wolf tells the Star Press that the university doesn't have enough details and can't confirm what it would do. She says the university will become more engaged in such analysis if the bill passes.
Edwards couldn't be reached for comment by the newspaper.
