Indiana lawmakers want to crack down on Tech Trep, a controversial home-schooling program that lets families use public funding to buy school supplies.
Indiana lawmakers want to tighten restrictions on schools offering incentives to attract students, after an unusual virtual program advertised a $1,700 stipend for school supplies, music lessons and Netflix subscriptions.
The legislatures move follows a Chalkbeat report on rising criticism over Tech Trep Academy, which drew a warning last school year from state education officials who said the stipend violated state law.
