Truth Summary
An email from the U.S. Department of Education to the Indiana Department of Education that Chalkbeat obtained says the state incorrectly applied provisions of federal law when determining this year’s Title I poverty aid for charter schools.
This year one-third of Indiana charter schools saw large cuts in their share of federal poverty aid known as Title I funding, prompting charter school leaders to complain that the state could be violating federal law. State officials announced earlier on Friday that they would seek federal guidance on how to distribute the funds.
