charter schools

One of the biggest differences between traditional public schools, charter schools and private schools is accountability.

While Indiana’s new property tax plan will save most homeowners money, school districts are going to miss out on millions. Some schools may have to share their shrinking revenue with charter schools.  

Their stories highlight the tensions over school choice, funding, and access — and the very different visions for how to serve students of color and low-income families.

Many young people are making their way to the Statehouse to testify about the controversial bill to divert property tax money from districts to public charter schools.

A controversial bill would shift some funding from traditional public schools to charter schools.

Indiana's annual The Indiana Teacher Compensation Report summarizes data reported by school districts about educators' compensation, including benefits.

Senate Bill 518, as amended Wednesday, would require school districts with at least 100 students attending charter schools to share revenue from property tax levies designated for debt service, school safety referendums, and certain controlled projects with charter schools located within their boundaries.

Legislation that aimed to dissolve Indianapolis Public Schools won’t move forward in the Indiana legislature.

The fight over Senate Bill 518 highlights a broader question: how to equitably fund all students, regardless of the type of public school they attend.

Sixty-one percent of students who live in the Indianapolis Public Schools district boundaries attend other districts, public charter schools or private schools.
