| Abstract | School choice programs can take a variety of forms, from the provision of various public school options, such as charter schools, to programs which provide funds to offset the cost of students' attendance at a private school. The provision of funds is most often accomplished in two ways: through the provision of state educational funds to be used for tuition in private schools, or through tax-credit scholarships. Vouchers typically refer to government provision of funds for parents to send their child(ren) to a private school rather than their assigned public school. While Indiana has both a tax-credit scholarship and voucher program, this brief only highlights the Indiana Choice Scholarship (ICS) voucher program. In reporting on ICS, this brief draws upon data obtained through documents on court decisions as well as information provided by the Indiana Department of Education via publicly available reports and unpublished raw data obtained through data requests. This brief provides an overview of the ICS program, and describes the Indiana Supreme Court's "Meredith v. Pence" 2013 decision, which upheld the constitutionality of the law. Changes to public law and eligibility requirements that impacted the implementation of ICS are detailed. This brief presents data on the ICS program's first three years of implementation, and explores the implications of the changes in ICS.
