U.S. Education Department Grants Indiana Waiver for Increased Funding Flexibility

The U.S. Department of Education has approved a waiver for Indiana, enabling the state to consolidate approximately $50 million in federal education funds over four years. This initiative provides Indiana's education leaders with greater discretion over federal dollars. The aim is to enhance flexibility in prioritizing college and career readiness within high school accountability frameworks, making Indiana the third state to receive such approval.
