Legislative SummaryPassed in 2001, Indiana's charter school law allows for an unlimited number of charters to be authorized by local school boards, public state universities, and the Mayor of Indianapolis - who can approve 5 schools per year. The initial term of a charter school is no less than 3 years. Charter school funding is comparable to other public schools.
