The Northwest Indiana Times, and the Post Tribune are the
top newspapers for info about the Gary School System.
If you are not receiving a paper, I would recommend one of
these two. The number for the PT is (800) 876-8974, and the
number for the NWIT is (800) 589-3331.

The Times’ challenge is to serve such a diverse and balkanized
community. It does so by producing nine daily geographically
zoned editions, providing both a regional news report and
the depth and flavor of a hometown newspaper.

GARY SCHOOL STARTING ALL OVER AT THE TOP AGAIN
The Gary School Corp. is overhauling its administrative staff for the second consecutive year and will require all central administrators and building principals to reapply for their jobs.
More than 90 supervisory positions have been posted as vacant. Everything from finance executives to gender academy leaders to curriculum directors is being sought.
Current administrators are not on contract and are considered at-will employees.
School Board member Darren Washington said the mass search allows new graduates, seasoned workers from other districts and former Gary residents looking for professional jobs to come to the city.
