Regionally Speaking, Thursday, August 17, 2017

Today: Stories about education topics are featured on this Reporters Roundtable Thursday, from Carmen McCollum of the Times of Northwest Indiana, Carole Carlson of the Post-Tribune, Inside Indiana Business managing editor Andy Ober and northwest Indiana public radio reporter Michael Puente.

The stories include a look at the Gary Community Schools, Indiana's first-ever state-supervised public school district, the impact of public referenda on local school districts and their teachers, how the growth of the Merrillville High School building trades program is leading a building expansion project, and a report from the Indiana Chamber about the impact that small public school districts have on their students and taxpayers.

Chris Nolte produces and hosts “Regionally Speaking” aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. He's also the temporary local "Morning Edition" host.
