Family Sues Indianapolis Public Schools Over Alleged Bullying, Energy Assistance Program, State Support for Hard-of-Hearing Children, Worry Over Unsafe Water in Rural Communities

A family is suing Indianapolis Public Schools, alleging a first grader at George Washington Carver Montessori School 87 was seriously injured after repeated bullying. Nonprofits in Indianapolis can now apply for energy assistance from the Office of Sustainability. Lawmakers made several changes this session to how the state delivers services to deaf and hard-of-hearing children. President Donald Trump’s proposed budget would cut more than half of the Environmental Protection Agency’s funding – that could make it even harder to provide safe drinking water and sanitary sewers to Indiana’s rural communities.
