Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

The GOP led General Assembly spent the first week of the special session debating how restrictive new abortion legislation will be. Pro-abortion rights and pro-life activists made their voices heard this week.

School is starting up around the state, and many communities are facing a large shortage of teachers. But Monroe County schools are the exception. Ahead, we talk with Indiana’s former superintendent of schools.

And as monkeypox cases are beginning to surge across the country, we tell you what you need to know.
