Local ISTEP Board Member Reacts To Delay In Test’s Replacement

OCTOBER 13TH, 2016

 The future of the ISTEP exam is still on the line, as the debate continues over how to replace the annual exam.

Principal Julie Kemp of Chrisney Elementary in Spencer County sits on the board, and says the group will draft a proposal on a new testing system for Indiana students. However, she says they haven’t even drafted a proposal for grades three through eight.

State superintendent Glenda Ritz was in town Thursday, and 44 news reporter William Wolkoff caught up with her to talk about the test.

 

St. Mary’s NICU Receives Special Surprise from Unlikely Donors

The St. Mary’s NICU gets an unexpected surprise from some of their past graduates.

A set of twin boys from Fairfield delivered some donations.

Instead of getting birthday gifts for themselves this year, they chose to donate to the St. Mary’s NICU.

They brought baby onesies, socks, diapers, wipes, blankets and cash.

The twins graduated from the St. Marys NICU and are now five years old.
