In late 2020, Governor Eric J. Holcomb announced his 2021 Next Level Agenda, which included the prioritization of finding long-term sustainable solutions to improve teacher compensation.
Among the recommendations is a proposal to improve school corporation data accessibility and transparency by creating a website to allow for easy comparisons of school corporation financial, expenditure and compensation metrics relative to other districts. The Next Level Teacher Compensation Dashboard launched and is now available on Governor Holcomb's website. MPH staff worked feverishly over the last quarter of 2020 to help the Next Level Teacher Compensation Commission roll out the data dashboard.
