Who s Behind New Virtual Schools In Indiana? Lawmakers Want To Know
Tyler Lake
At a time when district-run virtual schools are growing at a breakneck pace, Indiana lawmakers are tired of being surprised by new programs.
Now they are proposing a law that would require districts that contract with outside virtual providers to submit the agreements to the Indiana Department of Education, giving officials notice of the partnerships. Those contracts would reveal details such as the costs of the programs, the staff vendors will hire, and the expectations districts set for providers.
But the new rule, which was slipped into another education bill last week, would not give the department the authority to reject vendors or keep virtual programs from opening.
