EDUCATION

Changes on the Horizon: The Indiana Department of Education proposes new diploma changes for high school students.

The new changes require a base of 42 credits where students are required to complete a series of required courses, including but not limited to seven semesters of English, seven credits of math, seven credits of “science, technology and engineering,” and five social studies credits. Students have the option to pursue “seals” or forms of additional education. The seals are “enrollment,” “enlistment and service” and “employment,” with each seal having an “honors” or “honors plus” option.

The Carter Center said she died Sunday after living with dementia and suffering many months of declining health. The statement said she "died peacefully, with family by her side" at 2:10 p.m. at her rural Georgia home of Plains.
