The Indiana State Board of Education has approved the acceptance of vouchers by four private schools with a history of low performance and academic failure.
All four schools had lost their ability to enroll new students in the Choice Scholarship program because they’d been rated a D or an F on the state’s accountability system for at least two consecutive years.
But a new law allows private schools in this situation to seek a one-year waiver.
Without a waiver, schools would need years of academic improvements to accept new voucher students.
Three of the schools -- Central Christian Academy, Turning Point School and Trinity Lutheran are in Indianapolis. The fourth, Lutheran South Unity, is in Fort Wayne.
