I heard from a fairly good source that JBS will be closing down after this year. I would not believe this but, This is the 3rd person that has personally mentiond it to me. Does anybody know if there is any truth to this? Or is it just another JBS rumor?.....

What kind of trouble is ALC in, and to what extent? I've heard that the headmaster, Dr. James is retiring at the end of the year so if they stay open they have to get a replacement in.

I hope not,,, I graduated from ALC, but not to JBS. I wish Dr. James well, if she does decide to retire.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) is an educational accreditation agency. This is the agency that ALC gets it's accreditation from. Word has it ALC is losing it's accreditation (teaching program). This is a big part of ALC. Accreditation is a type of quality assurance process under which a facility's or institution's services and operations are examined by a third-party accrediting agency to determine if applicable standards are met. If these standards are met then you recieve high standards and if not then you have problems.

Any idea when the final decision is to be made in regards to their accreditation.? I have heard this rumor before, but thought that they were meeting the requirements to retain.

They were told they don't have enough professors with doctorites in their education department and they gave them two years to hire some.

I really haven't heard much to support this rumor, but it will be interesting to see how things play out.

I have heard that ALC is about to lose their Education program. A lot of local teachers have come from ALC and I think it would be a shame for the college to lose the program but that's what I've heard.

Yeah me too. It should be interesting to see just exactly what is truth and what is just rumor.

Something's going on. They've got basketball players transferring left and right. Some going to Knott Central, some to Cordia, and others to Letcher Central.

They haven't had any transfer to LCC, I know that for a fact.

Yea and I heard that Clint will probably transfer as well, so Id say they will get rid of K-8 and keep the High school though.

My mistake. I thought Collins was transferring to LCC. That's what I was told. Must have been false information.
