Eric Bassler (R-Washington), left, and Ryan Mishler (R-Bremen), right, present the Senate Republican two-year state budget proposal. Brandon Smith/IPB News Indiana Senate Republicans unveiled their $36 billion two-year state budget proposal Thursday – making a number of changes to the House’s K-12 funding plan and focusing heavily on one-time spending. The Senate version of the proposed K-12 funding plan dials back school choice programs favored by the House and increases funding for students in poverty.  It’s part of the Senate’s overall effort to double the amount of new dollars for K-12 spending at $875 million compared to the House’s $438 million proposed increase. Total K-12 support for the two-year budget is set at $15.4 billion, or 50 percent of the state’s total general fund spending.
