Bill > SB0320

This bill amends Indiana law to enhance transparency and accountability for schools participating in the Choice Scholarship Program (also known as school voucher program). The bill requires participating schools to hold at least one public meeting each semester to discuss choice scholarship funds, providing public notice and allowing public comment during these meetings. Schools must also submit an annual report to the state department of education and state board, which will be publicly posted on their websites. The annual report must include comprehensive information such as statewide assessment results, student growth data, attendance rates, graduation rates, enrollment statistics (including expulsions), a summary of choice scholarship funds received and spent, and the two most recent school audits. The bill also modifies existing definitions related to choice scholarship schools and clarifies that state examinations of these schools will be limited to matters relevant to the use of public money. These changes aim to increase transparency and provide more detailed information about how choice scholarship funds are used and the performance of participating schools.
