The building is district-held, in use, and in litigation. Under Indiana's $1 law the closed building drew Career Academy's interest and an IDOE availability ruling; the district appealed and kept the building in use — career and technical education, adult learning, storage, offices — voting in July 2025 to keep and repurpose it. The administrative judge ruled for the district on 16 February 2026 (the IDOE ruling 202 days late against the statute's five days from the 27 April 2023 notice; the building in continuous use; valued at $50–55 million); Judge Telloyan reversed on 26 October 2026 (the deadline directory, not mandatory); Career Academy announced its move — its high school, and the Portage School of Leaders, targeting 2028–29; and on 2 November 2026 the board voted unanimously to appeal. This pass searched November 2026 coverage for anything newer — the appeal's filing, a docket item, a further ruling, any district development after 2 November — and found none: the district's own news index and the Tribune's reporting both ceiling at the 2 November vote and its 3 November report, which state that the board will move forward with the appellate process. The filing's absence from the searched record is printed at search strength, and the docket state stands as a named gap (G3-5); a filing could exist in a court docket these searches do not index. Status at November 2026, stated whole: not sold, not leased, not transferred; district-held and in use; appeal voted and live, its filing not yet reported in the reached record.
