Final talks coming on removing Ritz as school board leader

A Republican-backed proposal that would allow Democratic state schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz to be replaced as leader of the state Board of Education advanced Tuesday toward final negotiations in the Indiana Legislature. House members voted 55-41 to support the measure that would allow the board, which is dominated by appointees of Republican Gov. Mike Pence, to elect its own chairman, ending a decades-old law that made the state superintendent the board's leader.
