SOUTH WHITLEY — Markers were handed out and people were encouraged to write on the walls of the meeting room in South Whitley Tuesday, located next to the Town Hall.
The South Whitley Plan Com-mission held a brainstorming session for residents to write down suggestions on ways the town could improve.
Anna Simmons, plan commission president, said, “We did this at our last meeting and we got some great ideas. I hope to have more meetings in the future to determine the priority of each suggestion in the different categories.”
PIERCETON — Whitko Community School students will have a weekly delay of 30 minutes each Wednesday starting in January.
Superintendent Steve Clason petitioned the Board of Trustees for Whitko Community School Corporation to approve the delay to allow for professional training for teachers.
“We’re not leading this change, we are following it,” said Clason. “The state says we have to offer so much time for development and this seems to be the most cost effective way to do it.”
