Indiana law grants charters access to most state and federal funding. However, there are still glaring deficiencies in the funding provided to charters, including that charters do not receive local tax levies for transportation and facilities and do not have access to the local capital funds for insurance costs. In a national study of charter school funding (University of Arkansas, Charter School Funding: Inequity Expands, 2014), Indiana charter schools were receiving on average $8,045 per pupil in public funds, while traditional public schools would have received $12,897 for those students. As a result, the state’s charter schools were receiving $4,852 per pupil—or 37.6 percent—less than what the traditional public schools would have received for those students. This figure includes all sources of funding, and analysis reveals continued inequities for operational, categorical, and capital funding (see Component #19 for information on capital issues).
