The Mind Trust was founded in 2006 by David Harris and Mayor Bart Peterson. With the nation’s strongest charter law and the nationally-unique Innovation Network School law, The Mind Trust believes Indianapolis is the best city in the country for talented school leaders to bring their vision to life.
