We encourage all Lutheran schools to have at least one representative at this training because school choice legislation has had an impact on each of our Lutheran schools. For example: 15 of our 18 schools are benefiting from students in our schools receiving school choice scholarships (voucher). 40% of our region’s enrolled students are receiving a school choice scholarship (voucher). All schools in The Lutheran Schools Partnership (TLSP) are members of the Lutheran Scholarship Granting Organization of Indiana (LSGOI) Through school choice scholarships and/or donor tax credits, all TLSP schools are benefiting from the school choice program. One more thought - does your school have a legislative liaison? Legislative liaisons are INPEA’s first stop for sharing important legislative information and asking for communication help.Make sure INPEA has the name and contact information for your school’s liaison.
