📰 News we're reading

• Local school leaders weigh state voucher costs (youarecurrent.com) — Westfield Washington Schools leaders say hundreds of local students now use state vouchers to attend non-district schools, contributing to funding pressure as enrollment and costs rise. Superintendents from Westfield and nearby districts argue voucher growth hasn’t been matched by overall education spending, while a school choice advocate defends Indiana’s “money follows the child” model as a national example.
   

• Police departments use new facilities to increase public safety, officer retention (fox59.com) — Westfield is moving ahead with a $35 million, 50,000-square-foot police headquarters near Grand Park, slated to open in 2028 and include an Emergency Operations Center and upgraded security technology. City leaders say the modern facility is key to keeping crime low and retaining officers as nearby departments in Noblesville and Indianapolis also invest heavily in new police buildings.
   

• LIV Golf begins laying off employees while downsizing to restructure without Saudi funding (sfchronicle.com) — Westfield just hosted the season-ending LIV Golf Indianapolis event at Grand Park, but the league is now laying off staff as Saudi funding ends and it scrambles for new investors. Leaders are considering a downsized “LIV 2.0” schedule, possible bankruptcy, and uncertain futures for stars like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau after this year’s shortened season.
