Statehouse leaders of both parties say increasing teacher pay is a top priority. The House Republican budget gives schools an additional $461 million over the next two years, a little more than the current inflation rate in increases per year.

In the governor's proposed budget, the Amtrak-operated train would no longer receive $3 million in annual financial support after June 30, 2019.

Gov. Eric Holcomb's budget includes a 2 percent funding increase for schools, per year of the biennium. It also cuts the state's Teacher Appreciation Grants, which provide bonus money to highly rated teachers.

The difference comes from what's essentially a calculation error - the original estimate didn't consider the current fiscal year.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb's administration is releasing its recommendations for the new state budget, including how much more money could go toward public schools.

Growth in corporate tax collections - the third largest source of state revenue - is expected to stall in the second year of Indiana's next budget.

The revenue forecast is a big piece of the puzzle as lawmakers and the Holcomb administration prepare to write a new, two-year state budget in the upcoming 2019 legislative session.

Lawmakers will use next week's state revenue forecast to help determine if they can fulfill that budget request - and many others.

The Indiana Department of Child Services says it needs about $300 million more per year in funding than it got in the last state budget.

Hill did not appear in person Monday to request the increase from the State Budget Committee, which is gathering input before lawmakers write a new two-year budget.
