From the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier-Journal...

Ball State University had proposed opening the Indiana Virtual Charter School and the Indiana Connections Academy this fall with a total of about 2,200 students.

The budget proposed by the GOP-led Senate would have allowed the schools to open. Democrats who control the House, however, objected to having state money go to such programs, and the budget approved April 29 said virtual charter schools cannot receive funding from the state or from any distribution of property taxes.

Ironically while Democrats and Republicans generally take opposite sides on this particular issue, many homeschoolers themselves are not terribly thrilled with the idea of virtual schools, since it still involves the control of the state in a child's education.
