MCCSC backlash, monolith on hold, Knox County Poor Asylum, BHSN marching band | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

Backlash was swift and loud after the Monroe County Community School Corporation announced a change last week that would put all four high schools on a common schedule. The school board listened, putting the brakes on the proposal this week.

Held up in the Board of Public Works for weeks, now it’s the weather that’s putting the Bloomington monolith on hold until at least next year. Two contracts worth more than a million dollars for the project are in jeopardy.

And we visit the rundown Knox County Poor Asylum, which one group is hoping to save.

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