• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 20: EDUCATION
• Art. 24: CHARTER SCHOOLS
• Ch. 8: Charter School Powers and Exemptions

Text

(a) Before July 1 of any year, a charter school
and the governing body of the school corporation may enter into a
compact in which the:
(1) school corporation or charter school agrees to provide goods,
facilities, services, or other consideration to the other party to the
compact; and
(2) charter school authorizes the school corporation to include the
charter school's performance assessment results under IC 20-31-8
when calculating the school corporation's performance
assessment.
A school corporation and a charter school may agree to provide goods,
facilities, services, or other consideration to the other party under this
section through an interlocal agreement in which both that charter
school and the school corporation participate.
(b) If a charter school and a governing body enter into a compact
under subsection (a), the charter school and the governing body shall
notify the department that a compact has been executed under this
section within thirty (30) days after the compact is executed.
(c) Upon receipt of the notification under subsection (b), the
department shall, for school years starting with the school year
beginning in the calendar year in which the compact was executed,
include the charter school's performance assessment results under IC 20-31-8 when calculating the school corporation's performance
assessment.
(d) A compact entered into under this section may not change the
rights, duties, or responsibilities of an existing:
(1) employment contract; or
(2) collective bargaining agreement;
between a school employee and a school corporation or a charter
school. An employee of a school corporation who provides services to
a charter school remains an employee of the school corporation.
(e) This section may not be construed to prohibit any other
agreement between a charter school and the governing body of the
school corporation for goods, facilities, services, or other consideration.
