On cross-appeal, Fort Wayne raises the issue of whether the trial court erred when it denied its motion to strike a portion of an affidavit Porter designated as evidence in support of his brief in opposition to summary judgment.
Fort Wayne and Wesner asserted as an affirmative defense that the Porters’ claims were barred for failure to comply with the notice requirements of the ITCA, and they subsequently moved for summary judgment on that basis.
Fort Wayne’s conduct, then, was inconsistent with its position that Hicks’ October 16, 1997 letter did not satisfy the purpose of the ITCA notice requirements.

When efforts toward what is now dubbed school turnaround began in the 1990s, Fort Wayne Community Schools was not a district in crisis; but like most of the country, it was coming to terms with a shift in the population it served.
