RICHMOND, Va. – Gov. Ralph Northam says he wants to put more money into at-risk schools and give teachers a 3 percent raise.

Northam on Monday highlighted portions of his forthcoming two-year budget proposal. His plan also calls for increased funding for school counselors and more money to help children whose first language isn’t English. Next month, he’ll ask the General Assembly to invest plan to invest $1.2 billion in K-12 education.

Northam and state Democrats are anticipating an extra $1.2 billion in revenue in the two-year budget from changes in the federal tax code. Northam contends the state should use half of that money to help lower-income residents because the federal tax changes mainly help high earners and corporations.

The governor plans to make his full budget public on Tuesday at a hearing before lawmakers.
