Updated Subcategory Memo June 2023
Please read this memo regarding subcategory changes taking effect Saturday, July 1. Contact IDOE's Office of School Finance with any questions.
Choice Scholarship Program and the Education Scholarship Account (ESA) Program
IDOE and Treasurer of State Office’s received a number of questions following the ESA presentation at the Annual Choice Conference on Wednesday, July 12. As such, please review the clarifying information below:
- Non-public schools that meet the programs’ requirements may participate in both the Choice Scholarship Program and the Education Scholarship Account Program at the same time. There is nothing preventing a school from being both an “eligible school” and an “ESA participating entity.” A non-public school’s participation in one program will not impact their ability to participate in the other.
- Non-public schools may continue providing special education services to students participating in the Education Scholarship Account Program. The services provided would be aligned to the student’s Education Scholarship Account Service Plan, as directed by the student’s parent.
Final Round Regular Refunds
Refunds for Choice Scholarship students who were withdrawn prior to the school’s last day have been calculated. Schools should review the ‘Refund Letters’ folder in the shared Google drive, School Finance – Choice Scholarship. Letters with the total refund due and the detailed refund information per student test number (STN) have been placed in the folders. Contact ChoiceSchool@doe.in.gov if you need the link to your school’s folder.
Final Round Special Education Refunds
Refunds for Choice Scholarship students who received special education services from the Choice school and were withdrawn prior to the school’s last day have been calculated. Schools should review the ‘Refund Letters’ folder in the shared Google drive, School Finance – Choice Scholarship. Letters with the total special education refund due and the detailed refund information per STN have been placed in the folders. Contact ChoiceSchool@doe.in.gov if you need the link to your school’s folder.
