STATEHOUSE (Feb. 11, 2025) — A bill authored by State Sen. Greg Goode (R-Terre Haute) that would increase government transparency and accountability unanimously passed the Senate today.
Senate Bill 382 would create a local oversight board to ensure transparency and accountability in managing county resources for potential school improvements if funding becomes available.
"While I authored the bill, this legislation comes from tremendous bipartisan work from stakeholders in Vigo County for the greater good of our community," Goode said.
SB 382 would allow counties to transfer funding to school districts to help meet their needs.
"I would like to thank those who helped with this bill – especially local leaders in Vigo County, Terre Haute, Vigo County School Corporation and local businesses for coming together and working to improve the Wabash Valley."
The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for further consideration.
Goode encourages residents of Senate District 38 to contact him with any questions or comments they may have. Goode can be reached by filling out a "Contact Me" form online at www.IndianaSenateRepublicans.com/Goode or by phone at 800-382-9467.
