COVID-19 Response: Community Resiliency in the Hoosier State—Implementing the “Roadmap to Reopen Indiana”

Ball State Bowen Center for Public Affairs

The survey results presented in this brief suggest that local governments were proactive in implementing measures intended to protect the health and safety of their staff and the public, enhance facility cleaning and sanitation, and facilitate social distancing.

COVID-19 Response: Community Resiliency in the Hoosier State (Policy Brief Series) 

To better understand the varied effects of COVID-19 in communities throughout Indiana, a survey of local government officials was conducted by Accelerate Indiana Municipalities (AIM), the Association of Indiana Counties (AIC), and Ball State University researchers at the Bowen Center for Public Affairs, CBER, and Indiana Communities Institute.

The purpose of these policy briefs is to provide government policymakers and community decision-makers with more comprehensive and in-depth data on budgetary/fiscal stress, technology, administration, public health, and community health as decisions are made regarding resource allocation and policy development.

How Many School-Age Children Lack Internet Access in Indiana?

Ball State Center for Business and Economic Research

This study explores regional variation in internet access among Indiana households with school-age children. The lack of access likely resulted in significant differences in the quality and quantity of school instruction received by Hoosier students during the Spring 2020 school closings caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, this lack of internet access will make virtual learning difficult for some children if schools opt to have online education for the upcoming school year.
