Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

80 provisions identified: 47 benefits, 3 costs, 30 mixed.

No sales tax on school computers

Beginning July 1, 2026, parents or guardians can buy qualified computer equipment from a school or service center without paying state sales tax. The sale must be under IC 6‑3.1‑15‑12 as it existed on January 1, 2012, and the buyer must be the parent or guardian of an enrolled student.

TANF tied to school attendance

Beginning July 1, 2026, TANF recipients and dependent children who must attend school risk losing benefits after more than three unexcused absences in a school year. Excuses may apply under state attendance law, good‑cause rules, or a doctor’s advice to delay a mother’s return after birth. The agency will define “unexcused absence” by rule.

Medicaid pays schools for student services

Beginning July 1, 2026, schools and qualified providers enroll so federal Medicaid can reimburse medically necessary, school‑based services for eligible children. Covered services can be tied to an IEP, Section 504 plan, behavioral intervention plan, service plan, or individualized health care plan. Federal reimbursement goes to the school; the state keeps the nonfederal share and sets distribution rules. Services cannot include abortion, related counseling or referrals, abortifacients, or contraceptives.

Help for displaced special education teachers

Beginning July 1, 2026, a teacher who loses a position in a special‑education cooperative due to reduced services must be considered for any qualified opening in participating districts during the next school year. The teacher receives the same rights provided by related placement statutes.

Remediation spending capped at 1%

Each school may spend up to 1% of its state tuition support each year on remediation programs. The plan must be written, adopted at a public hearing, and filed with the Department. This rule starts July 1, 2026.

School data dashboard online

The state posts a single public dashboard with long‑term data for every school. It shows test scores, growth, graduation, attendance, reading, discipline, student needs, and licensed teacher rates. Each school must post the same data in the same format on its website. The rule takes effect July 1, 2026.

State pays some transfer tuition

If a child lives on state‑owned property and a parent works for the state or a state college full‑time, the student is a transfer student and the state pays the transfer tuition. Children living in student housing owned by a state college are not covered. This change starts July 1, 2026.

Stronger checks and penalties for staff

Schools must run expanded criminal and child‑protection checks before or soon after start and recheck staff at least every five years. Applicants may need fingerprints and to pay related fees; employees do not pay for CPI checks. Prosecutors and superintendents must report listed convictions, and the Department permanently revokes licenses for those crimes unless overturned. The coaches’ association must suspend or revoke accreditation for misconduct and must revoke it for listed offenses. These rules take effect July 1, 2026.

Teacher training and recruitment supports

The Department works with partners to recruit and keep educators from underrepresented groups, including plans for shortage areas, a scholarship website, and supports to remove barriers. A teacher grant program can pay approved course costs and a stipend for teachers who take higher‑ed or industry collaboration courses, subject to available funds.

Inspection fees capped for proprietary schools

Beginning July 1, 2026, an applicant proprietary, credit‑bearing postsecondary school must pay the cost of a team onsite investigation. When travel stays in Indiana, the total cost is capped at $1,000 per inspection.

Clearer school discipline data and reviews

Beginning July 1, 2026, the Department reports suspensions and expulsions by detailed causes and by gender, race, and disability. It studies why some cases are labeled “other” and sends recommendations by November 1, 2025. The Department also reviews restraint and seclusion incident reports twice a year and shares summaries with the commission under FERPA.

CTE plans and more funds for high school

Beginning July 1, 2026, the State Board creates and updates a long‑range plan for secondary career and technical education. At least 60% of federal CTE funds go to secondary‑level programs to carry out the plan. The commission prepares a biennial postsecondary CTE plan and can advise on CTE budget requests.

Mastery‑based learning pilot in select schools

Selected schools can run mastery‑based education pilots with Department approval. Plans must describe how mastery is taught and measured and list partners. Some rules may be suspended if conditions are met, including using a comparable test. After at least three years, the Department can end suspensions or remove a school that does not meet its goals. The chapter ends June 30, 2035.

Safer schools: grants and training

The state funds school safety projects through the Indiana Secured School Fund. One matching grant per year is allowed, with caps from $35,000 to $100,000 based on school size, and match rates of 25%, 50%, or 100%. Schools can also get one‑time grants to set up active event warning systems with the sheriff. Activity leaders must complete sudden cardiac arrest training, and schools must have AEDs and venue‑specific emergency plans at higher‑risk events. Schools must report any seclusion or restraint by a school resource officer, run background checks on outside presenters, and courts now send weekly conviction notices to the education department.

Stronger rules on restraint in schools

The law creates a public Commission on Seclusion and Restraint and requires statewide rules and a model plan to limit restraint and seclusion. Schools must adopt plans that meet the model’s standards and notify parents as required. Each school building must have at least one staff member trained in nonviolent crisis intervention present during the school year.

Limits on union bargaining topics

Beginning July 1, 2026, school employers may not bargain over many topics, including the school calendar, dismissal rules, restructuring, evaluation procedures, and some curriculum‑related items. Contracts also may not extend past the end of a state budget biennium.

Child support at 19, student option

Support (not including educational needs) ends at 19. Support can continue if the child is a full‑time secondary student and a parent or guardian files notice with proof of enrollment and expected graduation between ages 17 and 19. If no one objects within 30 days, the court may continue support through the expected graduation date without a hearing. The law also clarifies when parents may file for educational needs based on when the original order was entered.

Changes to teacher contracts and protections

Beginning July 1, 2026, contracts can be canceled immediately for listed causes (like immorality, repeated ineffective performance, neglect of duty, or certain crimes). Reduction‑in‑force decisions must be based on performance, not seniority. A probationary teacher is in the first or second full‑time year. Contracts must state expected daily hours. Temporary contracts are limited to narrow cases; teachers with 60+ days on a temporary contract may request state retirement service credit. A prior statute on voiding certain contract clauses is repealed.

New adjunct teacher pathway

Starting July 1, 2026, schools may hire adjunct teachers with at least four years of experience who pass background checks. Adjuncts must complete required trainings in the first 90 days and have a mentor. Special education is excluded. Adjunct pay is outside local compensation plans and most collective bargaining rules.

Broader legal immunity in schools

School employees and government entities are shielded from lawsuits for student injuries when acting reasonably under adopted discipline or restraint and seclusion plans. School staff have qualified immunity for good‑faith, reasonable actions under the plan. Immunity does not cover gross negligence, willful or wanton misconduct, or intentional misconduct. The immunity expansion is effective July 1, 2026, and the chapter’s qualified immunity applies upon enactment. This may limit families’ ability to sue in some cases.

New payment rules for schools and local governments

Beginning July 1, 2026, finance officers must have an itemized invoice, approval, filing, an audit certification on a state form, and board approval before paying a bill. Officers are not personally liable when they follow the law and funds are available. Local governments may prepay for goods or services if authorized; if a prepayment is over $150,000, insurance or a surety bond is required, and the prepayment must appear on the purchase order and invoice. Contract bids for public works must say if advance payments are allowed and list limits and paperwork. School boards may also approve advance payments for services under state guidelines.

New rules for school operations money

Beginning July 1, 2026, operations funds can be used only for listed costs, and sports facility work is capped at 2.7% of property‑tax revenue for that fund each year. Districts must use operations funds for student transportation, including to apprenticeship, CTE, modern youth apprenticeship, and work‑based learning; allowed costs include drivers, mechanics, fuel, repairs, insurance, and fares (not teacher or principal pay). Eligible charter schools must hold hearings and post capital projects over $10,000 and send plans and multi‑year bus replacement plans to DLGF. The chart of accounts must show spending by school building. “Deficit financing” is redefined for schools, with special rules for distressed districts including Gary and Muncie.

Old education programs and rules ended

The law repeals several older rules and programs as of July 1, 2026, including the early warning system law and a transitional state board provision. A specific administrative rule is voided and removed, and one chapter expires January 1, 2027. The entire “Programs Administered by the State” article (IC 20‑20) is repealed. Another section, IC 20‑26‑5‑18, is also repealed. These changes streamline the code and end expired or redundant authorities.

School accountability rules revised

The board’s use of student improvement levels is updated for planning, performance checks, and annual reports. The academic receivership law is repealed, and the rule tying improvement levels to receivership is also repealed. The law updates which state rules apply to qualified districts and high schools and ends use of the “Indiana Performance Qualified” label. These changes take effect July 1, 2026.

Tighter checks on school building debt

The law clarifies which school construction projects are controlled projects, using dollar and assessed‑value tests like $10,000,000 and 1% of assessed value. If enough people petition, a 30–60 day petition and remonstrance process decides the project; a defeat blocks bonds or leases and similar projects for one year. Large districts (over 15,000 students) may not issue bonds unless they used modified accrual GAAP in the prior year, unless waived. The law also ends the former limit on the education department’s plan‑approval role and ends the prototype design clearinghouse. Most rules take effect July 1, 2026.

Free gun storage guides for families

The education department, with state police, provides free materials on safe gun storage in homes with children. The department runs a public website and tells schools about it. After December 31, 2026, schools receive the materials to share with families.

More transparency on school health plans

Beginning July 1, 2026, school corporations must show any broker or adviser compensation for employee health coverage in the annual budget and share it on request. Board members or the board’s attorney may be covered. Premium shares can differ as federal law allows, and wage assignments can pay bargained premiums.

Alternative education grants and waivers

Alternative program organizers can seek approval to get state grants and ask for waivers of some rules, like graduation requirements, day length, curriculum, teacher certification, and facilities. Grants must be approved by the Department and budget agency after budget committee review. Applications must include student estimates and program details. Grants last up to one school year and can end early if rules are not followed. Effective July 1, 2026.

Apprenticeships count as career education

Apprenticeships, modern youth apprenticeships, and work‑based learning now clearly count as career and technical education. This helps align programs and supports with these pathways. The change starts July 1, 2026.

Clear rules for excused absences

School boards must set clear excused and unexcused absence rules using the state framework. Service as a page or honoree of the legislature is excused and cannot be penalized. Secondary students are excused for election board service, helping a candidate on election day, and other listed civic or educational events with parent permission and proof. Excused students are not marked absent. These rules start July 1, 2026.

Early graduation plan by 8th grade

Each student creates a graduation plan by the end of grade 8 with a school counselor and after seeking parent input. The plan sets goals, lists interests, and maps courses for grades 10–12. It is kept in the student’s record, and parents can see it under FERPA. This starts July 1, 2026.

Faster licensing and clearer test results

Beginning July 1, 2026, the State Board must speed up teacher licenses for active‑duty service members and spouses assigned to Indiana. If you fail a licensure exam, you receive your score and subscores. Accredited preparation programs may advertise as “accredited,” but the state can revoke that right if they break rules. A prior online‑training platform requirement is repealed.

Free and accessible textbooks

Schools must provide adopted curricular materials to every enrolled student at no cost starting July 1, 2026. Schools may charge reasonable fees only for lost or badly damaged items. Publishers must provide or allow large print, Braille, and audio versions so students with disabilities can access materials.

Free high school diplomas for veterans

Beginning July 1, 2026, eligible veterans who left an Indiana high school to serve in wartime can apply for a high school diploma at no cost. The veteran can choose the State Board or the veteran’s former school to issue the diploma.

Grants for reading, robotics, and languages

Schools can get grants to start dual‑language programs (up to $50,000 each) that begin in kindergarten or grade 1 and split instruction 50/50. Robotics teams can get grants for team costs, with awards made each school year by August 1. Science‑of‑Reading grants fund literacy coaches, teacher training, extra instructional time, and approved materials; after June 30, 2027, literacy coaches must have the literacy endorsement.

More computer science and reporting

Every public high school offers at least one computer science course each year starting July 1, 2026. The one‑semester elective rule ends July 1, 2028. After that, schools must offer a separate course that meets content rules and, by 2029, helps meet graduation instruction requirements. The Department helps schools and posts a yearly, public computer science report with detailed enrollment and completion data by student group before December 1.

More online training and classroom resources

The Department may run an optional online training platform; completing courses counts toward license renewal. It must post a self‑paced math module and family resources by July 1, 2024 and submit an early‑identification plan by December 1, 2024. The Department also maintains a site where teachers share lessons tied to real jobs and college research.

New school safety education for families

Starting July 1, 2026, the state provides model lessons and a response policy on dating violence and on criminal organization activity for grades 6–12. After December 31, 2023, schools receive firearm and ammunition safe‑storage materials to share with parents every year. The Department posts these safety materials on a public website.

One‑year leave for Teacher of the Year

Beginning July 1, 2026, a Teacher of the Year may take a one‑year professional leave with an Indiana college or the Department. The school must keep all benefits except salary and must let the teacher return to the same or a similar job with no loss of seniority. The Department reimburses the school for the benefit costs.

Required health and safety lessons

Schools must teach bullying prevention in grades 1–12. They must also teach child abuse and child sexual abuse prevention in K–12. Schools must teach about alcohol, tobacco and nicotine products, prescription drugs, and controlled substances at least twice in K–8 and once in 9–12. HIV instruction is required, using state‑developed materials. These rules start July 1, 2026.

Schools can spend gift income

If a school receives property by gift with no limits set by the donor, the school must keep the principal intact but may spend the income it earns. This helps support school programs. The rule takes effect July 1, 2026.

State job boards for teachers and adjuncts

Beginning July 1, 2026, the Department runs an online teacher job board. It also sets up an adjunct teacher portal. Schools can post openings. Job seekers can post resumes, ask questions, and view adjunct information that schools report. Listings must stay current.

Three‑year student transportation pilot

The state runs a pilot to provide transportation to all students attending approved schools in the pilot area. The pilot runs in the 2026–2027, 2027–2028, and 2028–2029 school years. The Department may approve up to three pilots, and each pilot area must set up a local transportation board by October 31, 2025.

New hearing if project scope changes

Beginning July 1, 2026, at least 10 property owners or voters can seek a hearing within one year if a controlled project’s scope changes after approval. Officials must hold a public hearing to decide if the scope changed. If it did, the subdivision must run a 30–60 day petition and remonstrance process like the first one.

New ways to manage school buildings

A three‑year pilot (school years 2026–2027 through 2028–2029) lets up to three sites test centralized management of school facilities. Each approved site forms a seven‑member local facilities board by October 31, 2025 to assess buildings, plan maintenance, share revenues, and address extra space; a report is due by July 1, 2028. The department can waive certain state laws or rules for pilot participation. A school governing body may lease property to the state schools for the Blind and Visually Impaired or the Deaf through June 30, 2030. Beginning July 1, 2026, the state board may advance money to schools for construction and some educational technology.

Approved curriculum list with posted prices

Starting July 1, 2026, the Department sets review rules for STEM and ELA materials. By July 1, 2027 and each year after, it posts the approved list and the exact statewide price for each item. Publishers must sign a data‑sharing agreement and give written prices to be approved. The Secretary must notify school boards and flag additions, removals, or price changes over 5%.

Career education: employer links and alignment

Starting July 1, 2026, a student or parent can choose to share CTE enrollment info with employers using a FERPA‑compliant form. The state annually sorts CTE programs into categories based on job and wage data; only approved programs qualify for related grants. The State Board also coordinates with higher ed and workforce agencies to build entrepreneurship education across K–12, college, and the workforce.

Dual language immersion grants fund

The state creates a fund to pay grants for dual language immersion programs. The Department runs the fund, may pay admin costs from it, invests unused money, and money does not revert at year end.

Funding split for school counseling programs

Beginning July 1, 2026, 25% of fees collected under this chapter go to the Secretary of Education to run school intervention and career counseling programs. The other 75% is distributed as the chapter’s section 6 provides.

Grants for teacher recruitment and coaching

The state funds teacher performance and literacy coaching models. No more than 30 schools receive awards per year, for three years each, and grants only cover actual costs. A separate program funds teacher training and recruitment in shortage areas. The recruitment program ends June 30, 2027.

Grants to build school counseling in K–6

Beginning July 1, 2026, the state funds K–6 counseling models in selected districts. Awards are capped at $15,000 per full‑time counselor each year ($7,500 per semester). Total awards also cap by school size: up to $75,000 (ADM ≤ 5,000), $120,000 (5,001–9,999), or $180,000 (≥10,000). Schools can spend awarded funds over 24 months and must evaluate and report results.

Lower testing costs; finance student devices

Beginning July 1, 2026, school boards can get statewide tests and scoring reports from the Department at no charge. Schools may borrow money, repayable within four years, to buy curricular materials and student‑issued hardware like laptops.

More data sharing and spending checks

The education department must give the State Board the data it needs for audits and evaluations, and both are treated as FERPA authorities. Educational service centers must help districts and charters and report results each year by August 31. The Office of Management and Budget tracks each district’s progress since 2005–2006 in raising the share spent on instruction, offers help to lagging districts, and reports publicly.

New service centers for K–12 schools

Beginning July 1, 2026, the state creates Educational Service Centers (ESCs). Districts, charters, and some private schools can join to share services like curriculum help, special education support, purchasing, and training. Local boards chosen by participating schools run each center and may hire staff. The State Board maps service areas and sets rules. Centers can use state, local, private, and federal funds, following federal rules.

New technology fund for K–12 schools

Beginning July 1, 2026, a state technology fund pays for equipment, software, training, and grants to bring tech to schools. Money comes from state appropriations and private donations. Unused money stays in the fund and does not revert.

Schools may contract for preschool and care

Beginning July 1, 2026, a school corporation can hire a private or nonprofit to run early childhood, preschool, or latch key programs. A contracted preschool must operate a federally approved preschool program.

State studies virtual schools and bus training

By December 1, 2025, the Department reports on how ready students are who enroll in virtual schools or programs, using completion and test data when available. By October 1, 2025, the Secretary reports on offering the school bus driver safety course at regional sites.

Study on cheaper health plans for staff

Before November 1, 2025, the Department studies allowing school employees to pick a state health plan if it costs less. The study also looks at sending any savings to a defined contribution account or to salary. This study requirement ends July 1, 2026.

State teacher loan rule repealed

On July 1, 2026, the state repeals its definition tied to federal teacher loan forgiveness. Teachers must rely on federal program rules without the prior state definition.

Indiana college core rule repealed

The law removes the state rule on the Indiana college core for high schools. Schools no longer must follow that statutory requirement. This change takes effect July 1, 2026.

Private school parity and testing

The Department must use the same recognition program rules for state‑accredited private schools as for public schools of the same grades. These private schools must give statewide tests at the same times public schools do and share results with the Department. Effective July 1, 2026.

School bus fee rules change

Schools cannot charge a fee for regular rides to and from school when they provide transportation. Schools may charge for trips to sports or other events. The school transportation chapter does not apply to nonpublic schools or certain educational service center bus contracts. These changes begin July 1, 2026.

Set terms for school leader contracts

Starting July 1, 2026, principal and assistant principal contracts are based on the regular teacher contract unless both sides agree otherwise. New or renewed leader contracts must be at least one year and not more than three years, with up to three more years by mutual consent. Local directors must receive an initial contract equal to two school years.

Stricter discipline and transfer option

A student who brings or has a firearm or destructive device at school is expelled for at least one year; law enforcement is notified. A superintendent may extend a suspension beyond 10 school days to prevent disruption or injury. A student facing expulsion may enroll in another school if the parent informs the school, the school agrees, and the student follows the new school’s terms. These changes start July 1, 2026.

Stronger internet and device rules

Schools must block material harmful to minors on school‑owned devices starting July 1, 2026. By January 1, 2027, parents can choose stronger filters, block sites, and limit device use, unless a current vendor contract prevents it. That contract exemption ends July 1, 2030. Schools must mostly ban student phones during class, with teacher‑approved use, emergencies, health care, and IEP/504 use allowed. Schools may teach internet safety using approved curricula; the Department approves statewide curricula by July 1, 2025, and the rule takes effect July 1, 2026.

Teacher hiring and rights changes

A superintendent hired by a school board does not need a teacher’s license; a master’s degree is preferred. The state repeals the staff performance evaluations statute and the Indiana Excellence in Teaching Endowment. Teachers under inter‑school agreements lose a parity rule. Robotics mentors and coaches are outside collective bargaining. Exam scorers no longer must give failing teacher test scores and subscores. Most changes take effect July 1, 2026.

Insurance help for student work programs

The department keeps a contract or MOU to help employers find liability and workers’ compensation coverage. An employer may buy department‑approved coverage for a student in a work‑based learning course. The employer pays the cost, and coverage must be approved by the state insurance department.

New rules for government buying

Advance payments on public contracts are capped at the smaller of 50% of the contract price or $2,000,000. Some purchases are exempt from state procurement rules, including certain DNR resale items, horse racing commission spending, and entities with a specific education MOU. Cities and towns may prepay employee meal costs for official travel if they pass an ordinance with limits, receipt rules, and wage repayment for missing documentation.

New court forms and data systems

By July 1, 2025, the judicial office runs an online system to send case summaries to state police for expungements and sealing. Beginning July 1, 2026, courts get a uniform indigency form and a standard mental‑health detention application. The office also creates a statewide plan to collect juvenile justice data. Starting July 1, 2026, the office must tell the NPLEx system about drug‑related felony convictions (after June 30, 2012) and later updates so stop‑sale alerts can be added or removed.

One education chapter repealed

A chapter of education law is repealed on July 1, 2026 as part of a larger rewrite. The practical effects depend on how those rules are moved or replaced elsewhere in the code.

Safety grants can fund training

Schools may use secured school fund matching grants for threat response, including firearms or other self‑defense training. This applies to money received under the matching grant. The rule takes effect July 1, 2026.

Annual school data and efficiency reviews

Each year by September 1, the Department compiles a report from school and charter data and sends it to lawmakers. School corporations must also give the Department any information it needs to review operations and recommend savings.

Faster license action after teacher convictions

When a current or former teacher is convicted of an offense that requires license revocation, the judge must notify the Secretary of Education and the school employer within seven days. The Secretary must then start the license‑revocation process. If the sentence is later changed, the judge must notify the employer.

New rules for education boards

State Board appointees must meet new rules: at least six with education experience, no more than one per congressional district, no more than five from one party, and at least one practicing licensed special education teacher or director. School governing bodies must follow set meeting and training rules, including 72 hours’ notice for special meetings and up to two training sessions outside the district. School cities must use the state staff‑evaluation plan rule. Districts can budget the greater of $3,000 or $1 per pupil, up to $12,500, for promotion each year. Governing bodies may not use state funds to sue the state, except to appeal adverse agency decisions. These take effect July 1, 2026.

Pilots for flexible student transportation

Local student transportation boards plan and run pilot transportation with seven members. Plans must cover safe rides for school, work‑based learning, and activities; uninterrupted rides for homeless and foster students; data; revenue sharing; and vehicle purchasing and upkeep. Boards must file an implementation plan by July 1, 2028. The Department can waive state rules that would block pilot participation.

Public‑private deals for school buildings

Beginning July 1, 2026, school boards and charter schools may use public‑private agreements to build or renovate school buildings under state law. This adds another option for construction projects.

School property and shared‑services rules

Beginning July 1, 2026, school trustees can ask a court to appoint appraisers for planned school land purchases. School property may face municipal assessment liens like private land, but cities cannot collect penalties or attorney fees from schools. The law also clarifies that “joint programs” include shared hiring, purchasing, building, and investing by participating districts.

Small lab schools funded as charters

Starting July 1, 2026, a lab school that operates without an agreement and has 750 or fewer students in the fall count is treated as a charter school for state funding. This change applies only to lab schools that meet both conditions.

Up to $750 per alternative ed student

Beginning July 1, 2026, qualifying districts get up to $750 per full‑time equivalent student in alternative education. Districts must spend at least one‑third of the state grant per student as a local match. The Department pays grants by September 1 each year based on prior‑year FTE counts.

Updated definitions in school law

“Nonpublic school” now means a school not run by a school corporation and not a charter school, and it includes private and parochial schools. “School corporation” is clarified to list the types of public school corporations covered. “Secondary school” means a high school by default, with a specific exception where named. These take effect July 1, 2026.
