Gov. Eric Holcomb has said repeatedly that he’d be willing to reverse course on the state’s reopening plan if the data indicated that the pandemic was worsening.

Also in this week’s issue, IPS Superintendent Aleesia Johnson discusses the reopening of the state’s largest public school system and what administrators have learned so far.
