    All three Fort Wayne charter schools have appealed ball states decision to pull its charters.

    A parent at the imagine school on Broadway isn't taking no for an answer and is fighting to keep the school open.

 

 

Amber Wilson has three children at the Imagine school on Broadway and she's been going door-to-door asking people to sign a petition in the hopes of rallying the community behind the school.

 

"I was wondering if you would be willing to sign my petition to keep imagine schools on Broadway open," said Wilson. 

 

 

Amber Wilson is on a mission to keep the Imagine school on Broadway open after Ball State announced it would be pulling its charters from all three Fort Wayne charter schools. 

 

 

"I never imagined that my kids would go anywhere but imagine," said Wilson. 

 

All three charter schools have appealed ball states decision and plan on fighting to keep the doors open. 

 

"I've never in my almost 29 years have I ever been more passionate than I am right now and I'm willing to fight tooth and nail to the finish," said Wilson.   

 

Ra'Chelle Spearman the Principal of the Imagine school on Broadway says  the appeal process wouldn't be possible without the support from parents like Wilson.

 

"I don't know if I even have w rods to describe what that means to us to have the support of the families but also from our community," said Spearman.
