6% increase and the current inflation rate is 7% … so it’s a decrease, right?
+1
We rarely need more money in these programs but better oversight and more conservative spending. Somehow money is always the solution and yet problems don’t get solved and frequently get worse!
Please explain the specific problems in education that are down to poor oversight and spending too much money.
Last time I checked, we were struggling to keep teachers in the field. Maybe I’m just an old fashioned conservative who still believes in fundamentals like supply and demand, but paying them more would appear to be the most effective way to keep them.
I also recall, trying to teach my own kids just a couple years ago due to COVID and gaining an all-new appreciation for what it takes to be an educator. Maybe it’s just the circles I travel in, but I didn’t meet any fellow parents who told me that it was the easiest thing they ever did, more like the hardest.
Make it 10% and be the leader, not the average.
Shortage of teachers…not programs, consultants, directors. How much of increased funding will ACTUALLY be used in the classroom?
The Legislature has the ability to direct the funding as they see fit. Also, most of those “non-teaching” roles are needed to meet federal or state requirements.
It’s convenient to blame everything on schools but via the increased funding going to more and more charter schools, we are all paying for more non-classroom staff. Indiana is slowing undoing the consolidation that took place in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
Why are we wasting money on schools that are failing our children? Why don’t we give money to church who are actually doing a good job of preparing our kids for life after school. Instead we are funding schools that are concentrating on regurgitating memorized information. Most of which they will never use! This is typical government wasting money!
Meant schools not church
Quite the slip there, Peggy. But that is the end game for our legislators.
The legislature needs to review and change the funding levels currently being used. Why do I see football fields with turf at many highschools? New track and field facilities? Etc, etc? While I firmly believe sports, arts and music programs are vital, those should be secondar to teaching a strong curriculum to students. I don’t believe Indiana teachers are drastically underpaid. Let’s get them a raise and then hold them accountable for teaching students. All school corporations need to re-evaluate current programs and make adjustments to put the funds where they are needed.
