Since leaving the mayor’s office, he has chaired the Board of Directors of The Mind Trust, a leading education reform organization that has been a magnet for education entrepreneurs throughout the nation. Bart will discuss Indianapolis’s education reform journey over the last 15 years and the new directions in which it is moving.
