As Hoosier students go back to school, Indiana Governor Mike Braun is celebrating his administration\u2019s wins on education.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

News release from Indiana Governor Mike Braun’s office:<\/p>\n

Governor Braun Celebrates Education Wins as Students Head Back to School<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indianapolis, Indiana (August 4, 2025) \u2013 As Hoosier students go back to school, Governor Mike Braun is celebrating his administration\u2019s wins on education.<\/p>\n

“Hoosier students are headed back to school this year to an Indiana K-12 education system with choice and real-world value at the forefront, where parents are empowered to do what is best for their children, and public colleges with frozen tuition across the board for the first time ever,\u201d said Governor Braun. \u201cWe\u2019re going to continue to build on these accomplishments and solidify Indiana as the national leader in parental choice and high quality education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Below is a recap of the major education accomplishments in Governor Braun\u2019s first six months in office.<\/p>\n

Historic school choice expansion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Governor Braun\u2019s education philosophy is based on a simple idea: parents are in charge of their kids\u2019 education. In year two of this biennium, the state will offer universal school choice, a major Freedom and Opportunity agenda priority secured in Governor Braun\u2019s first legislative session.<\/p>\n

Increased base salary for Hoosier teachers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under three bills signed into law this legislative session, Governor Braun improved pay for teachers. He secured an increased base salary for Indiana teachers, ensured teachers in high-need content areas have higher pay, and instituted outcome-focused performance pay for high-performing teachers.<\/p>\n

Increased school investment in Indiana budget<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even in an austere budget framework, Governor Braun increased the K-12 tuition support formula to direct an extra $640 million to the classroom.<\/p>\n

New diploma paths focused on Enrollment, Employment, or Enlistment outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indiana has now rolled out a first-of-its-kind new diploma system, where students have a clear path they can follow to be automatically accepted to many of Indiana\u2019s great universities, or start a career path heavy on hands-on experience where students can get a foot in the door immediately upon graduation with Indiana\u2019s top employers.<\/p>\n

Other Education Wins<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to these major wins, Governor Braun\u2019s administration has instituted several other legislative reforms to make education more results-based and student-focused, such as the new A through F accountability rating system with a greater focus on how schools foster students\u2019 unique skills and talents, ensuring high-quality evidence-based instructional materials for reading and math, and establishing the Office of School Safety.<\/p>\n

Indiana\u2019s education reforms are being noticed at the national level<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

“Indiana has been a leader in expanding school choice for K-12 students, and better student achievement results have followed. Now Hoosier lawmakers are building on that success by further expanding access to private and charter schools in the state [\u2026] The key to choice success in the long run is letting the money follow the child no matter the school, public or private. Indiana has taken another step toward that ideal.\u201d – The Wall Street Journal | Editorial Board: Indiana\u2019s Big School Voucher Breakthrough (Paywall)<\/a><\/p>\n

“At the request of Governor Mike Braun, all 15 of Indiana\u2019s public colleges and universities have committed to freezing their tuition and mandatory fees for in-state undergraduate students for the next two academic years.\u201d – Forbes | Indiana Public Colleges and Universities Freeze Tuition for Two Years<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIndiana has been awarded the 2025 Frank Newman Award for State Innovation, recognizing its significant investments in literacy and the development of the Indiana Graduates Prepared to Succeed (GPS) dashboard. The award, presented by the Education Commission of the States, highlights Indiana’s commitment to education advancement.\u201d – WLFI | Indiana wins national award for literacy and data innovation<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
