Friends,

 

This week, Governor Holcomb updated Hoosiers on the latest in Indiana’s
response to COVID-19 and the continued impact the pandemic is having on our
state.

 

As we safely and responsibly continue moving through the governor’s Back on
Track plan <[link removed]>, it can’t be forgotten that the
pandemic disrupted the education of over 1 million Hoosiers. One of Governor
Holcomb’s top priorities is strengthening education, and that’s why he is
committed to maintaining the record level of K-12 investments for our students.

 

So, while the pandemic will necessitate budget cuts in several state
government agencies, Governor Holcomb will not cut K-12 funding to make up for
revenue shortfalls due to the pandemic. In fact, a scheduled increase of $183
million will continue!

Here are some additional updates regarding education funding:

* Schools are receiving an additional $192 million in federal funding from
the CARES Act.
* Governor Holcomb’s education relief fund will provide $61 million for
remote learning resources.
* Governor Holcomb will seek legislative approval to ensure schools that
shifted to virtual instruction during the pandemic will still receive 100% of
their tuition support.
* Additional resources and funding are available for schools through the
Indiana Department of Homeland Security.
From the first day of his administration, Governor Holcomb has been committed
to improving the quality of and access to education for all Hoosier students.
While the pandemic has certainly caused some disruptions in our daily lives, it
hasn’t changed his commitment to Hoosier teachers, parents and students.

 

#BackonTrack,
-Your Holcomb Crew
