Beginning in 2005, the Indiana General Assembly (IGA) enacted a statutory provision whereby public school corporations were required to offer school buildings no longer being used for classroom instruction to charter schools for purchase or lease, subject to the requirements of IC 20-26-7-1. Since then, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) has administered this program, acting as a conduit between public school corporations and interested charter schools.
