INDIANAPOLIS — A new state budget plan would send some more money to Indiana schools but at a level short of what advocacy groups say is needed for teacher pay raises.
Education advocacy groups estimate a 9% funding increase is needed to boost teacher pay to the midpoint of neighboring states.
The Republican proposal released Thursday would boost base school funding by 2.7% in the first year and 2.2% in the second year of the budget.
