Additionally, Gov. Holcomb signed a new executive order on Thursday, April 2, to extend the closure of Indiana's K-12 schools through the end of the 2019-2020 school year.

The new order provides schools greater flexibility to ensure they will not lose funding if they are unable to meet the minimum number of school days normally required by state law. It also gives teachers greater flexibility by extending teacher licenses expiring between March 1, 2020 and Aug. 31, 2020 until Sept. 1, 2020.
