Black Church Coalition Demands Safety and Investment, All-Girl Charter School Approved, Housing Discrimination, Debate Over Mandated Heart Screenings

The Black Church Coalition will host an event this Thursday to demand better public safety and revenue investments from Indianapolis’ policymakers. An all-girl charter school was granted final approval Monday night to open in the boundary of the Metropolitan School District of Washington Township. Federal grants awarded to an Indiana organization will help fight housing discrimination. Existing heart screenings can detect issues, and potentially prevent future complications, but medical experts have debated the value of mandating these tests for decades.
