INDIANA — The Indiana House Republicans’ latest weekly podcast episode, “Indiana’s Education Progress,” focuses on the significant funding increase for K-12 education in the new state budget.
The episode, available for broadcast and online streaming, features State Representatives Becky Cash (R-Zionsville) and Matt Commons (R-Williamsport) discussing the state’s recent efforts to improve education.
The Indiana General Assembly passed a budget that allocated the most funding yet for K-12 education in state history, a move aimed at helping Hoosier children succeed. This funding increase is a key point of discussion on the podcast, with Reps. Cash and Commons are offering their perspectives on how these investments will impact students and schools.
The new state budget includes several measures aimed at strengthening both public and private education. It provides a 2% annual increase in K-12 tuition support over the next two years, expands the private school choice program, and maintains funding for charter and innovation network schools.
In the podcast, the lawmakers also touch on other education-related legislative changes, such as efforts to streamline K-12 regulations and provide greater flexibility to local school districts. The discussion is part of the House Republicans’ ongoing series designed to keep constituents informed about legislative priorities and their impact on Indiana communities.
