Who can sponsor or authorize a nonconversion charter school?
Indiana law allows a sponsor (sometimes also called an “authorizer”) to be either the board of a local educational agency (school corporation), a public university that offers a four-year baccalaureate degree program, or the Mayor’s office of a consolidated city. Currently, Indiana’s charter school sponsors include the Indianapolis Mayor’s office, Ball State University, Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation, and Lafayette School Corporation.
