The Lake Central School Corporation will soon be looking at changes to its elementary school boundaries.

As lawmakers advance a reading retention bill, some local educators say the state should focus on early intervention, instead.

A local school superintendent wants districts to have flexibility when it comes to deciding whether to hold students back.

As lawmakers plan for the 2024 legislative session, school leaders are urging them to change the property tax referendum language.
