View Comments For years, Indiana has been a leader in the school choice movement with a veritable buffet of educational options for its families. But there’s something Indiana hasn’t had – until, possibly, now. The State Board of Education is set to vote on the creation of two new private, virtual schools Wednesday morning. The Indiana Department of Education is recommending the schools – one focused on college prep, one religious – for provisional accreditation. They would be Indiana’s first state-accredited nonpublic virtual schools, if approved. While accreditation is voluntary for nonpublic schools, it is required to participate in the state’s private school voucher program.
