(2) charter school authorizes the school corporation to include the charter school's performance assessment results under IC 20-31-8 when calculating the school corporation's performance assessment.
A school corporation and a charter school may agree to provide goods, facilities, services, or other consideration to the other party under this section through an interlocal agreement in which both that charter school and the school corporation participate.
(b) If a charter school and a governing body enter into a compact under subsection (a), the charter school and the governing body shall notify the department that a compact has been executed under this section within thirty (30) days after the compact is executed.
(c) Upon receipt of the notification under subsection (b), the department shall, for school years starting with the school year beginning in the calendar year in which the compact was executed, include the charter school's performance assessment results under IC 20-31-8 when calculating the school corporation's performance assessment.
(d) A compact entered into under this section may not change the rights, duties, or responsibilities of an existing:
