§ 20-26-3-3 — School corporation powers; extent

(a) The rule of law that a school corporation
has only:
(1) powers expressly granted by statute;
(2) powers necessarily or fairly implied in or incident to powers
expressly granted through rules adopted by the state board under
IC 4-22-2 or otherwise; and
(3) powers indispensable to the declared purposes of the school
corporation;
is abrogated.
(b) A school corporation has:
(1) all powers granted to the school corporation by statute or
through rules adopted by the state board; and
(2) all other powers necessary or desirable in the conduct of the
school corporation's affairs, even if the power is not granted by
statute or rule.
(c) The powers that school corporations have under subsection
(b)(1) are listed in various statutes. However, these statutes do not list
the powers that school corporations have under subsection (b)(2). The
omission of a power from a list does not imply that school corporations
lack that power.
