The U.S. Department of Education is required to allocate 60 percent of the funds based on each state’s relative population of individuals aged 5 through 24, and 40 percent based on each state’s relative number of children counted under the Title I, Part A formula. GEER I Fund $61,590,954 GEER II Fund 26,529,708 Total, GEER $88,120,662 GEER funds may be used by the Governor of Indiana in support of public elementary and secondary education, institutions of higher education (IHEs), or other education-related entities. A Governor has wide discretion in determining the entities in the State that will receive GEER funds. A Governor can choose to fund only LEAs, only IHEs, only education-related entities, or any combination of eligible entities. Below is the FINAL CARES Act allocation. This figure INCLUDES the equitable share for nonpublic schools, and is based upon each LEA's proportionate share of Title I funds before the reset.

  • The Impact of Property Tax Caps on Funding Equity for Public Schools in Indiana
    THE IMPACT OF PROPERTY TAX CAPS ON FUNDING EQUITY FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN INDIANA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE DOCTOR OF EDUCATION BY J. SCOTT BOWLING DR. LORI BOYLAND – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, IN MAY 2017 THE IMPACT OF PROPERTY TAX CAPS ON FUNDING EQUITY IN INDIANA PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1 ABSTRACT DISSERTATION: The Impact of Property Tax Caps on Funding Equity for Public Schools in Indiana STUDENT: J. Scott Bowling DEGREE: Doctor of Education COLLEGE: Teachers College DATE: May 2017 PAGES: 112 In 2008, the state of Indiana implemented a system to limit the amount of property taxes paid by various constituents. Residential property taxes were capped at 1% of assessed value. Agricultural and commercial property was capped at 2% of assessed value. Business property was capped at 3% of assessed value. The caps caused varying losses of tax revenue across the state for units that relied on the property tax as a source of revenue (Bradner, 2010). School corporations lost revenue as a result of the caps, but the losses were not uniform across the state (Indiana Department of Local Government Finance, 2015b). Some districts lost very small dollar amounts and some lost so much money that boards had to consider eliminating their entire student transportation system (Starks, 2014). This study sought to examine the relationship of these differential losses across an array of school corporation characteristics, including: student enrollment, district property wealth, location type (rural, urban/city, suburban), the percentage of English learners served, the percentage of special education students served, the percentage of students who received free or reduced priced lunches, and the percentage of nonwhite students served.

  • Costly Failure: California Is Overpaying for Online Charter Schools That Are Failing Students
    Costly Failure: California Is Overpaying for Online Charter Schools That Are Failing Students By Gordon Lafer, Clare Crawford, Larissa Petrucci, and Jennifer Smith In the Public Interest FEBRUARY 2021 About This Report With California’s two-year moratorium on authorizing new nonclassroom-based charter schools ending at the close of 2021, state legislators will need to use the 2021 legislative session to develop a more permanent solution to the sector’s enduring problems. This report finds that nonclassroom-based charter schools – and those delivering education primarily online, in particular – provide an inferior quality of education. Adding insult to injury, the state is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars a year by funding these schools at a level far above their costs. Additionally, analysis shows that the state’s school system is already oversaturated with nonclassroom-based charter schools. The report concludes by identifying the most promising policy solutions to these problems that have been proposed nationwide. About the Author Gordon Lafer, Ph.D., is a political economist and professor at the University of Oregon’s Labor Education and Research Center. He has written widely on issues of public policy, and is author of The One Percent Solution (Cornell University Press, 2017). Lafer has served as Senior Policy Advisor for the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Education and Labor, and has testified as an expert witness before the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, and numerous state legislatures. **Coauthors include Clare Crawford, Larissa Petrucci, and Jennifer Smith. About In the Public Interest In the Public Interest is a national nonprofit research and policy organization that studies public goods and services.

  • CLOSING the GRADUATION GAP Progress and Challenge in Raising High School Graduation Rates in Indiana
    CLOSING THE GRADUATION GAP Progress and Challenge in Raising High School Graduation Rates in Indiana Civic Enterprises SPONSORED BY: THE RICHARD M. FAIRBANKS FOUNDATION Table of Contents Executive Summary ............................................................ 3 Overview of Education Reforms in Indiana........................................... 8 The State of High School Graduation in Indiana ...................................... 10 College and Career Readiness in Indiana ........................................... 18 Common Themes and Promising Practices Observed in Indiana Schools and Districts ......... 20 State Areas for Improvement .................................................... 27 Plan of Action to Continue Raising High School Graduation Rates in Indiana................ 35 Conclusion .................................................................. 39 Progress and Challenge in Raising High School Graduation Rates in Indiana Executive Summary In 2015, Indiana had one of the highest high school graduation rates of any state in the nation at 87.1 percent, and the narrowest graduation gap – 4.5 percentage points – between low-income and non-low-income students. This landscape occurred in a state that was in the top five for closing the graduation gap between all and low-income students from 2011 to 2015 and in which well more than one-third of the cohort of students were low-income. Indiana also has a higher graduation rate than the national average for every student subgroup, except for Asian and Pacific Islander students. We wanted to understand what accounted for the progress in Indiana, what it might be able to teach the 34 other states that had low-income student populations of 50 percent or less, and what challenges remain for the Hoosier state. We also note that progress in closing graduation gaps in Indiana for some student populations has not been as strong, given that significant numbers of African American students, students with disabilities and English Language Learners are not graduating from high school.
