INDIANA (Indiana’s NewsCenter) - A proposal to expand charter schools and allow them to share transportation money with traditional public schools in Indiana has cleared a legislative committee.

Provisions of the bill would allow more cities and colleges to create charter schools, which are public schools that are free of certain state regulations and often free of union contracts.

The bill also allows charter schools to share transportation funding with traditional schools.
