INDIANAPOLIS (Inside INdiana Business) The Indiana Department of Education has added 13 schools to its list of STEM Certified Schools around the state. The certification is awarded to schools that are “focused on a commitment to teaching STEM disciplines beyond the classroom.”
The IDOE says schools that receive the recognition take a non-traditional approach to STEM education by combining project-based learning, community engagement, entrepreneurship, student-centered classrooms and out-of-school STEM activities, among others.
“Indiana’s STEM Certified Schools are leaders in ensuring students are building employability, critical thinking and problem solving skills,” Indiana Secretary of Education Dr. Katie Jenner said in a news release. “While occupations in STEM-related fields continue to grow, we know that the foundational skills developed throug

A Cloquet police officer has been suspended without pay for 14 work days following an internal investigation resulting from a drunken driving incident involving the officer last summer.
Officer Andrew Michael Murray, 34, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of driving while impaired in November. The Cloquet Police Department has been investigating the incident since last winter.
According to Cloquet Police Chief Derek Randall, the investigation by his department into Murray s actions has since concluded, with the officer being issued a final and last chance agreement for any alcohol or impairment-related offense for a period of five upon the completion of his 14 day unpaid work suspension.
The conclusion of college basketball season is coming up next month and the Indiana State Police will take the floor to put a full-court press on the madness that is impaired driving.
OK, enough terrible basketball puns. In all seriousness, the ISP announced this week they ll be increasing patrols across the state throughout the month of March to crack down on dangerous and drunk driving thanks to funding provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through a grant from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI).
This won t be some hide in the bushes and try to catch offenders in the act patrolling. Troopers will set up where you can easily see them so you know they re watching. This could be along the shoulder of a road, or in the median of the highway.
Robert Kent Pioro
Pioro eventually invited the victim to his Duluth home in October 2000 when she was 16 years old and his wife was out of town. Pioro, 42 at the time, laid the victim down on a daybed in his home and kissed her, the complaint said. The victim told authorities she began to cry, but that Pioro told her that families kiss on the lips, the complaint said. Pioro also told the victim he could lose his job if she told anyone.
The pair allegedly spent time alone together at Carlton High School, South Terrace Elementary School and Four Seasons Recreation Center in Carlton from December 2000 to January 2001, with Pioro kissing and hugging the victim on a regular basis. At the time, he was her coach.
