Indiana Deparment of Education

What Indiana Deparment of Education does

The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) is the state government agency responsible for overseeing K-12 public education across all 92 counties of Indiana, serving approximately 290 local school corporations, charter schools, students from PreK through 12th grade, licensed educators, school administrators, and families. Led by Indiana Secretary of Education Dr. Katie Jenner, the agency sets academic standards, administers educator licensing, manages state and federal grant programs (Title I–IV, McKinney-Vento, charter school programs), and operates school finance, nutrition, and transportation oversight functions.

The agency's technology footprint consists of a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on Indiana GPS (Graduates Prepared to Succeed), a public-facing K-12 performance dashboard built on embedded Power BI that tracks student outcomes across five graduate characteristics and metrics such as 3rd Grade Literacy, 6th Grade Math Growth, College & Career Credentials, and Graduation Pathways. Supporting this core system are specialized portals: LVIS360 (educator licensing, using Access Indiana SSO), CNPweb (child nutrition reimbursement claims), the LINK Portal (single sign-on gateway using IDOE Identity with OAuth2 via Google/Microsoft), EdData Finance Dashboard (Form 9 school financial reporting), Moodle LMS (educator professional development), the School Finance Application Center, the Indiana Federal Report Card, and the Diploma Seals Ordering Portal.

As a state government entity, IDOE is funded through a combination of Indiana state appropriations, federal education grants, and private philanthropy — most notably a nearly $75 million coordinated investment announced in December 2025 combining $40 million from Lilly Endowment Inc. and $35 million in state funding for literacy, STEM, summer learning, career advising, and the INSPIRE digital library. The agency does not sell commercial products; services are publicly funded and delivered through local school corporations, charter schools, and self-service digital portals, with no traditional pricing model or paying customer base.
