House Bill 1136 would force public schools to become charter schools if more than 50% of students living in the district attend other schools.
House Bill 1136, authored by Jake Teshka, argues that school districts with declining enrollments should not receive tax benefits while families send their children to other districts.
It would force public schools to become charter schools if more than 50% of students living in the district attend other schools.
Note that Indiana also has a school vouchers program to disincentiveize parents from sending their kids to a public school, making this an intentional feedback loop.
