Board Declares State Board Lacks Bible Study Power
Indiana officials face limits on official Bible study as a text in high schools. An attorney general opinion to Superintendent Greathouse says local school corporations control curriculum, while the state board can only review local actions. Credit for Bible study can be given only if done in a commissioned private high school, not in public schools. The Evansville Epworth League district plans to meet next year in Evansville. A heavy rain across Whitewater Valley saves wheat oats and corn yields, easing drought damage concerns.
