State Representatives Steve Davisson and Karen Engleman say the House Enrolled Act 1066 will protect teacher contracts despite the split of West Clark Community Schools into two districts.

After splitting from West Clark Community Schools, The new Silver Creek School Corporation held its first board meeting Monday night to talk about getting students back to school safely.

The divorce would end years of acrimony among residents in rural and suburban areas of the Clark County district that was created during school consolidations of the 1960s.
