Congresswoman honors principal’s heroism, service

LAWRENCE, Ind. (WISH) – Principal Susan Jordan received congressional recognition this week.

Congresswoman Susan Brooks took to the House floor on Thursday to pay tribute to Jordan.

“I’m extraordinarily moved by her heroic sacrifice, and the incredible outpouring of love and support from her students, fellow teachers, and the greater Lawrence community,”  Brooks said. “Principal Jordan was known for her warmth and her passion for her students to achieve their very best. I offer my deepest sympathy to Principal Jordan’s family and friends, to the students who were injured, to the Lawrence Township Community, and to all Hoosiers who mourn her loss and cherish her memory.”

Jordan was killed last month in a school bus crash at Amy Beverland Elementary School.

On Thursday, the Marion County Prosecutor announced that he will not charge the driver.FULL COVERAGE: Amy Beverland crash
