(STATEHOUSE) - Governor Daniels says he’s pushing forward with his plan to increase education funding in the state.

He says after funding full-day kindergarten, his second priority in the upcoming legislative session will be increasing the base funding each school receives. He says while the last session succeeded in keeping the state in the black and giving more cash to schools, it couldn't plug all the gaps.

Daniels says some of the state's fastest growing districts are the ones now falling furthest behind. Daniels met with House Speaker Pat Bauer and says he agrees with Bauer the state must address the rising cost of textbooks.
