Charter & Innovation Network School Grant Program
The Charter and Innovation Network School Grant Program, Indiana Code 20-24-13, provides grants to qualifying charter schools. The program is administered by the State Board of Education.
The appropriation for this year's awards is $15,000,000, and each eligible school should receive $500 per pupil. The grant will be disbursed to schools in two payments; one based on ADM estimates, and the second payment based on the fall ADM counts. If $500 per pupil causes the total to be more than the $15,000,000 appropriation, in the second payment the per pupil will be reduced to ensure the total disbursed is equal to $15,000,000.
Board staff will email each school a voucher form; please confirm the information is correct, sign, and email it back. Relevant documents, including a list of estimated eligible schools, can be found below. Again, board staff will be reaching out to all eligible schools with a voucher to sign. The application window closed on September 17, 2018 at midnight. Questions and applications can be directed to applications@sboe.in.gov.
