Indiana July school fund apportionment hits record per capita
Indianapolis reports the July apportionment by Superintendent Cotton totals 1.72 per capita for youths aged six to twenty one, the largest in state history since 1880. The extra funds come from state tax increases and unused money for poorer schools, with penalties noted for two auditors' omissions and a push for taxpayer recourse. The improved funding reflects Republican administrations prioritizing education and overall school improvements across Indiana.
