Today: This week marks the end of summer and the official return to school for many students in northwest Indiana.  We spoke with education leaders about the state of education. Dr. Paige McNulty is the manager of the Gary Community School Corp. She discussed the plans the district has for the upcoming school year. But up first, amid a massive teacher shortage nationwide, we spoke with GlenEva Dunham the president of AFT Indiana. She shared what her organization is doing to support educators nationally, statewide and locally.
