(1) The covered school building was purchased or leased by a
charter school under this chapter.
(2) The total student enrollment for in-person instruction in the

(b) A school corporation may not petition the department under
subsection (c) within the first five (5) years after a charter school
purchased or initially leased a covered school building under this
