For second week in a row, @GovHolcomb's weekly coronavirus briefing has been delayed. We're told it's once again a technical problem.

.@GovHolcomb's weekly #coronavirus briefing is about to begin. He's expected to discuss the effect on #schoolfunding.
Holcomb says the state will go forward with a planned $180M increase for schools in the fiscal year which starts July 1. "This shows that schools have been spared the knife...This shows the priority we place on schools."
Holcomb says there's bipartisan support for changing law to ensure schools get full funding even if #COVID forces them to have most students learning from home. Law currently would cut their budget 15%.
