The group Friends of Otwell have been informed their application for Otwell Miller Academy was turned down

The planned charter elementary school in Otwell won’t happen this year.  An application for the school to Ball State University has been denied.

The Petersburg Press Dispatach Facebook page      https://www.facebook.com/PressDispatch/?fref=ts  reports that the group, the Friends of Otwell was informed by telephone by Ball State officials, that the charter application had not been approved.

The group was attempting to create the Otwell Miller Academy after a decision to close the Otwell Elementary School by the Pike County School Board last year.  The school will be closing after the last day of school next month.
