Mitch Daniels on Education

Republican IN Governor

Proud of long-standing commitment to our public schools

Hoosiers are rightfully proud of Indiana’s long-standing commitment to our public schools. Hoosiers earn less income than the average American, but spend more of their income than the national average on their K-12 public schools.

The Governor’s proposals would strengthen the roles of the regional Education Service Centers (ESCs) to purchase a variety of products and services on behalf of participating school districts. The Governor’s “More Dollars to the Classroom” initiative would shift more funds [from products & services to classroom] to improve student achievement.

School districts would also be given more freedom to enter into shared services agreements, so that administrators responsible for such functions as transportation, facilities management, human resources, and information technology could perform them for multiple districts.
