Indiana's voucher program allows parents to receive thousands of dollars that can be applied toward tuition at private schools that participate in the program. The amount of aid is based on the per-pupil funding the state sets for a student who otherwise would attend public school in his or her local district, so it doesn't necessarily cover all of the private school tuition.

The Parks family started looking for a new school two years ago for Chakotay, who is somewhere in the middle of the autism spectrum. Socially, he's about two years behind but is learning well.
Three to four months into the search, they found Independence Academy.
"It was number one on our Christmas list," said Parks, whose wife had cancer and died in January.
Parks said he and his wife always figured a special needs school would join the program at some point, and it was his wife who pestered state officials, looking for information.
She called, emailed and showed up at the Statehouse so often that Indiana Department of Education workers remembered to reach out to her family once a special education school applied for the program.
Lisa Roesler, director of Independence Academy, understands the benefit to families such as the Parkses of her school and other so-called niche schools accepting vouchers.
"Different environments work for different students," she said, "and the voucher program provides more possibilities to find a program that more specifically meets your child's needs, whatever those are."

Every fan dreams of owning a piece of there favorite professional sports team? Would you overpay for the privilege to say you own a piece of the New York Yankees? Dallas Cowboys? L.A. Lakers? Most fans would hop on that opportunity right away. Well for the rest of the world, soccer team Manchester United is their New York Yankees. Winner of 19 English Premier League Titles, Manchester United is the most glorified sports franchise of all-time, boasting well over 600 million supporters worldwide. And in less than a month, just about any of those 600 million supporters will be able to make one call or a simple click of the mouse and own shares of the iconic franchise. Buying shares of Man United will be a great idea to many for the obvious personal reasons but the real question is whether or not buying shares of Manchester United is a good investment at all?
What?s not to like, Manchester United is a franchise that turns a profit every year and has a track record of being a solid equity investment. Man United has appreciated more than 
What other Sports Teams are Publicly Traded? While there are technically no other professional sports teams publicly traded in the U.S., investors can buy shares of Madison Square Garden (NASDAQ: MSG), which gives you ownership of the NBA?s New York Knicks, the NHL Rangers, a WNBA team, an arena and a TV network. Sorry, no Jeremy Lin though. Another similar company is Liberty Media (NASDAQ: LMCA) owns the Atlanta Braces baseball team, which is only one component of their huge portfolio of companies. Nintendo (NTDOY) owns most of the Seattle Mariners, Rogers Communications (RCI) a small piece of the Toronto Blue Jays. So technically all of these are indirect ways to owning a sports team. Outside the U.S., there are a handful of soccer teams that actively trade on other foreign global markets. For example, AJAX trades in the Netherlands; Juventus in Italy; Benfica in Portugal, and Fenerbache a lesser-known name listed in Turkey, but has an annualized return of almost 14 percent. Meanwhile the other mentioned teams all had negative annualized returns and have all been losing investments. The big question looming is where Manchester United will stand.
For this reason, it is wise to start an automotive maintenance fund within your personal or family budget that will pay for anticipated expenses, and at the very least, provide some extra buffer for those times when you have to bit the bullet and pay for an unexpected ? and costlier ? repair.

Although a carefully drafted joint venture agreement may set up a framework for the distribution of liability between the joint venturers, that framework cannot insulate each of the joint venture firms from all risks caused by others; nothing in a joint venture agreement limits the separate liability of joint venturers to a client or a third party. The perception is that the joint venture is truly a single point of responsibility for a project, and that perception is usually reasonable and recognized in any litigation against the joint venture.
