House Bill 1136 would force public schools to become charter schools if more than 50% of students living in the district attend other schools.

House Bill 1136, authored by Jake Teshka, argues that school districts with declining enrollments should not receive tax benefits while families send their children to other districts.

It would force public schools to become charter schools if more than 50% of students living in the district attend other schools.

Note that Indiana also has a school vouchers program to disincentiveize parents from sending their kids to a public school, making this an intentional feedback loop.

    I really hope that the US will remain one of the leading world powers because I think many of the American ideals are generally good human ideals. But, if the US continues to defund public access to education, and China continues emphasizing education as a nation, then I can hardly imagine that the US and China would still be on equal footing ten years from now. China will simply ever so slowly outsmart/“out-strategize” the US in important international political matters.
