- Will the suit further raise tensions on the already touchy state board? (EdWeek, The Statehouse File/WFYI)
- Will it be quickly dismissed? (NWI, IndyStar)
- Can the superintendent can even sue the state board? (WIBC)
- Is there video of the state board deliberating about LSA and A to F? (WISH-TV, ILB)
- What is a meeting? (State Impact)
- Why was the media denied interviews with Ritz after a speaking engagement? (WTHR)
- Gary Welsh: Are Pence and the state board also violating separation of powers? (Advance Indiana)
