Wants more information on Adult Learning Center Staff

Comments re article 52683 SCC to serve as fiscal agent for AC Adult education

Michael Ratliff writes:
Ed, I noticed in the article that applications are being accepted for instructors in the GED program. Did the current instructors/staff at the Adult Education Center not move to the new location? If not, then why? I don't understand. I thought the Adair County Public School System and SCC are both state entities. Why can't the current staff transfer from one to the other? - Michael Ratliff
Thanks. We hope to have more on this later. At the moment, according to incoming Superintendent Alan W. Reed, plans are for the existing staff of the Adult Learning Center to be placed in other positions in the Adair County School system, and the present building will be razed.

The question you raise is a valid one. We hope to have more specifics, later. The operation will be the first physical location for Somerset Community College into Adair County, and they appear eager to make a good first impression here.
