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.
residents would be pissed-off…
if only they weren’t products of their own public education. something the ‘conservatives’, and far-right have been under-funding, encroaching upon, and dismantling forever it seems, now, they’ve been working at it so long.
this is indiana’s kill shot.
if it works there, it will be duplicated elsewhere.
