Are charter schools open to anyone living in Indiana who wants to attend?
Yes. State law mandates that a nonconversion charter school must be open to any student who resides in Indiana. A charter school may not establish admissions policies or limit student admissions in any manner in which a public school is not permitted to establish admissions policies or limit admissions. For a conversion charter school ONLY (defined in Question 2), enrollment may be limited to those students who were enrolled in the school on the date of the conversion, and siblings of those students. Charter schools are open only to children living in Indiana. By law, an Indiana charter school may not enroll a student from outside of Indiana (see Question 24).
