Gov. Eric Holcomb said the federal infrastructure package will deliver billions to Indiana, starting with about $200 million this year.

The pandemic upended education for about 50 million American students, and U.S. lawmakers responded by giving schools an unprecedented surge of federal funding — including nearly $3 billion for Indiana schools.
