MCCSC high school schedule snafu, mixed-use path safety, student absenteeism | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

Bloomington’s two high schools operate on different schedules, but district officials are considering a plan to create a common schedule beginning next year. MCCSC says it will form focus groups to collect input before making a final decision.

A pedestrian-bike accident on the B-Line Trail amplified the difficulties Bloomington is facing as it tries to keep everyone safe on mixed-use paths. Bloomington police say citations to bikers are rarely issued.

And we take a look behind the state’s education numbers that show a high rate of chronic absenteeism by Hoosier students.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
