Kyra Howard Named Editor Of The City-County Observer.

Kyra Howard is a senior psychology major at Franklin College with a long history in journalism. She has been reporting and writing for The City County Observer since November.

“We are delighted to have Kyra become our editor,” said Ron Cosby, owner, and publisher of The City-County Observer.

“She has a superb work ethic and the judgment of someone twice her age. She also possesses the journalist’s most important virtue—an unquenchable thirst to know the truth. She will be a great fit for our paper and our community.”

Howard began her journalism career in high school, where she covered controversies over what students could and should be allowed to discuss.

At Franklin College, she has worked for the student newspaper, The Franklin, and TheStatehouseFile.com, the award-winning news website powered by Franklin College journalism students. TheStatehouseFile.com has been a longtime news-gathering partner of The City-County Observer.

During her time with TheStatehouseFile.com, Howard covered everything from the Indiana State Fair to the demonstrations surrounding the passage of Indiana’s new abortion laws. In addition to writing and reporting, she also is an experienced photographer.

“I have always been drawn to journalism because it gives people a voice and shows that their stories matter,” Howard said. “That’s one of the things that makes me happy about becoming the editor of The City-County Observer. I know this paper believes the same things—that people and their stories matter. That’s why everyone in its pages gets treated fairly.”

Howard assumed her role on Feb. 22, 2023.  Cosby will remain as publisher of The City-County Observer and continue to set its tone and direction.

“Bringing Kyra on will be like adding rocket fuel to a plane that’s already flying high,” said Cosby. 

Howard said she’s excited to do the work.

“I thrive on challenges,” she said. “And this will be a great one.”

Rep. McNamara’s bill boosting school safety heads to the Senate

0

STATEHOUSE (Feb. 26, 2023) – Legislation authored by State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) prioritizing student safety by making additional investments into a successful state grant program schools use to beef up security is on its way to the Senate. McNamara’s legislation continues Indiana’s efforts to keep students and educators safe by increasing investments in Secured School Safety Grants. Under her proposal, the state would invest $26 million into matching local school safety grants, and ensure safety plans for public, private and public charter schools meet standards. The bill expands what the grants can be used for, including digital mapping of floor plans that can be shared with first responders, multi-disciplinary threat assessments, and technology to detect fire, chemical, visual and audible threats.“School administrators need to have the flexibility and means to enact quality safety plans for students and staff,” McNamara said. “The safety concerns in schools is always shifting, but this bill will go a long way in ensuring that they have the resources and plans in place that suits their unique needs.” McNamara said the bill would also create a school safety team in every school corporation in Indiana, comprised of safety specialists like law enforcement, school resource officers, counselors and social workers. The group would be tasked with providing guidance to students, staff and teachers along with the updated and individualized plans for their school corporation. The Indiana School Boards Association, the Indiana School Resource Officers Association and the Indiana State Teachers Association support the bill, which passed unanimously.House Bill 1492 now heads to the Senate for further consideration.
