The former CEO of Edison School of the Arts who sued the school over defamation after his termination in 2023 has reached a deal with the school to receive a judgment of about $269,000 in his favor.

The former head of an Indianapolis school alleges the school board let him be defamed in a termination proceeding that violated state law and essentially canceled him, according to a tort claim and a federal discrimination complaint filed in March and April, respectively.
