Hear more of this good news story, this weekend on This Week in Delaware County – and on Community Focus Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m.


The Noblesville 2021 Civil City budget was approved by the Common Council at its Sept. 29 meeting.  A 0% increase compared to the 2020 Revised Budget for those funds.   The budget was created with several guiding principles, including no increase in the overall city budget, no citywide yearly salary increase, and no health insurance premium increases for employees.


To reach more Hoosiers more quickly, Indiana is directing federal COVID-19 recovery funds to the Workforce Ready Grant, and this month the State will reach out directly to those in need and share information about how to take advantage of these free training and educational opportunities. Hoosiers can enroll at Ivy Tech right now and classes begin October 26 and earn credentials in five high-demand fields: IT & Business Services, Advanced Manufacturing, Logistics & Transportation, Health & Life Sciences, and Building & Construction.   To learn more how you can take your career to the next level, visit IvyTech.edu/nextlevel.


There is no doubt: schools of all grade levels are being very mindful of what “could be,” and we asked Ball State President Geoffrey Mearns for the reason for the adjustments to the Spring Semester calendar
