School Choice
Legislation Passes in 2011!

The most expansive school choice legislation in the Nation passed the Indiana General Assembly this year!

Attention Parents!

1. Did You Know:  

The school choice legislation that passed will help middle and lower income families choose a private or Christian school for their child!

2. Did You Know:

Families below the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Income Guideline are eligible to receive a voucher/scholarship for 90% of state tuition support (based on the funding level in their school district of residence).  This income level is around $40,000 for a family of four.*

3. Did You Know:

Families below 150% of the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Income Guideline are eligible to receive a voucher/scholarship for 50% of state tuition support (based on the funding level in their school district of residence).  This income level is around $60,000 for a family of four.* 

4. Did You Know:

Students must have been in a public school for the two semesters prior to the semester in which they will receive the scholarship.  Note that kindergarten cannot count as the prior two semesters.  Or students who have received a scholarship through the Scholarship Tax Credit Program in a prior year are also eligible for the program without being in a public school the year prior.*

5. Did You Know:

Parents must have enrolled their child in a participating school by September 16.  The participating school will send the application for a voucher to the Department of Education.
