Wed, 01 Sep 2010 04:39:34 -0700 Stimulus Money To Spare Indiana Teacher Jobs http://southputnam.posterous.com/stimulus-money-to-spare-indiana-teacher-jobs http://southputnam.posterous.com/stimulus-money-to-spare-indiana-teacher-jobs
According to this story, Indiana is set to receive its share of $10 billion that the U.S. government has earmarked as an emergency fund to stem the tide in the loss of teacher jobs that we've seen over the last few years.   Indiana's slice of the pie will be about $270 million, and, while there is a lot of debate over Governor Daniels stance on this money and how it was appropriated, the fact is that it's coming our way.  The important thing now is what we do with it.

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 05:47:09 -0700 No Budget Cuts on the Horizon? http://southputnam.posterous.com/no-budget-cuts-on-the-horizon http://southputnam.posterous.com/no-budget-cuts-on-the-horizon This is slightly dated, but still worth pointing out.  Governor Daniels indicates that the State's revenue situation appears to have improved in the last few months and does not anticipate further budget cuts for K-12 education.   If that holds, it's welcome news for South Putnam and the rest of the State's school districts.
