- On Tuesday, Governor Mike Braun announced Jennifer Dorfmeyer as the new Indiana Department of Child Services director, effective immediately, replacing Adam Krupp.

- In a message to agency staff, Krupp thanked employees for handling "one of the hardest jobs in public service," noting his tenure included increased permanent home placements for children.
