Truth Summary
Betsy Wiley, Hoosiers for Quality Education president and CEO, said Pence left no room for interpretation when it comes to his commitment to schools and families.
“Gov. Pence announced his intention to increase teacher pay by over $60 million, increase funding for K-12 education by three percent, eliminate the arbitrary $4,800 voucher cap and provide some capital funding for charter schools. This plan would expand quality education opportunities for all Hoosier students, whether they attend public, private or charter schools. With the leadership of Governor Pence and the State Legislature, we are confident that great progress will be made for Hoosier teachers, students and parents this legislative session.”
