  1. I don’t have any problem with pay raises – I think everyone should be paid fairly: teachers, governors, troopers – but I do have trouble with the group of legislators who don’t want to follow a public and transparent process for making those decisions.

    I don’t care how noble your pursuit is – rushing it through in an after-dark session makes it seem sinister.

  2. I’m a bit curious about how the increased spending on K-12 education will be spent. I hope it’s not on administrative matters or keeping underutilized facilities open.

  3. what verifications are there on that $1 billion to make sure it isn’t going to profit people rather than educate kids? Are there the same restrictions on those funds that our public schools have to address?

    Also – Am I reading that correctly – they are pulling the funds from what would have gone to the teacher retirement fund (a debt the state owes)? That almost sounds like the teachers are now covering the cost of running our schools with what should have been their retirement funds. The optics on this seem a little….wrong.

  4. Beyond the funding…When will the State of Indiana put ALL SCHOOLS on the same level playing field? Segregation by choice- don’t forget though the public schools have to educate everyone with bureaucratic policies….”counsel them out” back to boundary schools… and you thought an “invisible fence” was for pets.
