Governor Holcomb is committed to making sure that Indiana’s schools receive
100% of their funding

Friends,


"School is back in session, and as we've talked to schools around the state,
there's a lot of excitement not just about connecting, but learning." – Gov.
Holcomb


Across the state, Hoosier students are back in school, with learning and
safety as the cornerstones.

 

And whether that school is in-person, virtual, or a hybrid of the two,
Governor Holcomb is committed to making sure that Indiana’s schools receive
100% of their funding – providing some consistency and certainty for our
students, parents, and teachers.

 

And that includes a $182 million scheduled budget increase for K-12 schools in
2021.

This will be achieved by pushing back the official count of student enrollment
to at least December, with the Indiana General Assembly returning for its
annual session in January to continue the conversation.

 

Governor Holcomb made this commitment clear today, just as he’s led with more
school funding, more access, and greater educational opportunities throughout
his administration – especially through this crisis.

 

This includes:

* Grants for high-quality pre-K available in every Indiana county
* A historic $1.6 billion in new education funding since 2017
* 98% of Indiana school corporations reporting an increase in teacher pay
last year with Governor Holcomb paying off a teacher pension liability
* PPE available to every Indiana district before school officially started
* Continual guidance from the Indiana State Department of Health
Governor Holcomb is continuing this commitment, but we need your help, too.

 

If you’re a parent, keep your child home if he or she is sick, or if they’re
waiting on a COVID-19 test result.

 

If you’re a student, stick with a cohort of classmates, limiting the spread in
the case of infection.

 

And for every Hoosier, let’s continue to wear our masks, wash our hands, and
practice social distancing. It’s the difference-maker that keeps our
businesses, schools, and economy going!

 

#BackonTrack,

-Your Holcomb Crew
