The Friday Pitch-In

March 06, 2020

This week’s Friday Pitch-In kicks off with an update on the first case of coronavirus in Indiana, and the 2020 legislative session. Statehouse reporter Brandon Smith catches us up with the latest on the syringe exchange extension, school referendum money being split between charters and public schools, and an update on Curtis Hill.

We also talk to education reporter Jeanie Lindsay about legislation that would remove standardized test performance as a factor in teacher evaluations. And Bloomington writer Craig Fehrman talks with us about his new book “Author In Chief: The Untold Stories of The Presidents and The Books They Wrote.”

Produced by Matt Pelsor.
