Calls on the Indiana Department of Education to report to the General Assembly by January 1, 2013, on school corporation compliance with reapportionment requirements under IC 20-23-8-8 following the 2010 federal decennial census.

Requires school corporation governing bodies with single member electoral districts to maintain populations as equal as practicable and reapportion districts after each federal decennial census.

Notes that some school corporation governing bodies have failed to reapportion districts as required, with at least one board not updating its electoral district plan since 1964.

Identifies significant population deviations between districts in some cases exceeding 90%, raising constitutional Equal Protection Clause concerns.

Directs the Department of Education to submit the compliance report in electronic format to the Legislative Services Agency Executive Director and the Census Data Advisory Committee.
