LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP, Ind. -- One year ago, the principal of Amy Beverland Elementary School jumped in front of a bus and saved the lives of two children. Thursday, flags flew at half-staff at Lawrence Township schools in honor of Susan Jordan.
On January 26, 2016, a school bus lurched forward over a curb in the parking lot of Amy Beverland as children were being dismissed for the day.
Jordan pushed two 10-year-olds out of the way before she was struck and killed.
She had been a principal for 22 years.
According to the school's Facebook page, Jordan's family and the Amy Beverland community decided not to have a public observance.
Governor Holcomb did give his support for district facilities to fly flags at half-staff "as a symbol of solidarity in the Lawrence Township community."
