participating innovation network charter school:
(1) the school corporation may provide transportation for students
attending the participating innovation network charter school;

and grounds used by the participating innovation network charter
school consistent with the maintenance and repair to the school

the goods or services than the school corporation pays for the goods or
services. A school corporation may not require an organizer to contract
for specific goods or services provided by the school corporation or any
other entity.
(c) A school corporation and an organizer may negotiate to require
specific services with regard to a participating innovation network
