Homeless encampment eviction, MCCSC school merger, Statehouse update | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

The city has evicted a homeless encampment on Bloomington’s west side. It’s the second encampment cleared under new mayor Kerry Thomson. Two people have been killed at the encampment in the last six weeks.

Parents say Monroe County schools’ proposal to merge Childs and Templeton elementary schools is just one more disruption for pandemic-scarred students. MCCSC says the merger is an effort to balance socioeconomic status levels among schools.

And we take a look at some of the bills making their way through the Statehouse this session.

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