The Latest: Holcomb suggests another boost for teacher pay
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Latest on Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb's State of the State speech (all times local):7 p.m.
Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb is targeting some more state money toward a goal of boosting teacher pay.
Holcomb used his State of the State speech Tuesday evening to announce plans to pay off $140 million in teacher pension obligations owed by school districts over the next two years. The Republican governor says 100 percent of that money should go toward teacher pay raises.
The extra money would amount to about 1 percent more money to school districts.
