Indiana charter schools could receive over $49 million in new revenue from proposed tax increases
Indiana charter schools could receive an estimated $49.5 million from upcoming ballot questions regarding property tax increases across several counties this November. While state law mandates that districts share these revenues, nearly all of the funds—$48.7 million—are not accounted for in official spending plans, leading to limited oversight on how the money might be used for operations like staff salaries or academic programs.
