School COVID protocols, Hotels for Homeless, Bus driver burnout | Indiana Newsdesk

Right now on  Indiana Newsdesk:

Monroe County Community School Corporation updated its COVID protocols this week to make it easier for students and teachers to return to the classroom. But some parents say the move makes the decision to send their kids back to school more difficult.

While there are programs to help those experiencing homelessness in Bloomington find permanent places to live, it remains an uphill battle. Ahead, we visit with one man who found housing through Hotels for Homeless.

And, MCCSC bus drivers stressed by staff shortages are complaining of burnout and a toxic work environment.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, right now on  Indiana Newsdesk.
