A massive storm slammed Northwest Indiana on Tuesday, August 11th, leaving over 300,000 without power, damaging homes, and even crashing through a school window at Gary West Side Leadership Academy—forcing an employee to seek medical help. Facing state-mandated 180 school days, districts like Lake Central and Hobart are scrambling for waivers from the Indiana Department of Education, especially after disaster declarations in Lake and Porter counties. With remote learning impossible due to blackouts, schools like Duneland delayed openings and had drivers check routes by car, planning to add days if waivers aren’t granted. School leaders are racing against time to keep students on track without adding stress or falling behind.
