Indiana HB1102 allows school corporations to contract with nonprofit preschool programs, removing restrictions on religiously affiliated nonprofits.

Indiana HB1102 amends the state's education code to permit school corporations to enter into agreements with nonprofit corporations for early childhood education, preschool, and latchkey programs. Previously, school corporations were restricted from contracting with religiously affiliated nonprofits for preschool programs. Effective July 1, 2025, the bill removes this restriction, allowing such contracts as long as the nonprofit operates a federally approved preschool program.
