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 RatliffThanks. 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. They are promising renewed efforts for higher GED achievements, support for the Adair County Work-Ready Community designation, and emphasis on the National Career Readiness certification for job applicants. Another question is whether the more independent recruiting of GED candidates might affect the most serious obstacle to the complete Work Ready community certification: the criterion that there be at least 25% of adults with an Associates Level Degree. There are 5,000 adults in Adair County, according to SCC, who do not have high school diplomas or a GED. Higher percentages of GED holders might translate into greater enrollment in Lindsey Wilson College, Campbellsville College, and SCC. Mr. Reed was concerned about the existing staff's jobs and the impact on an already tight Adair County school budget, but said he was open to trying to make a winning situation out of the change - especially in the transformative effects on the work readiness of the community - an effort he has shown great passion for. It will be interesting to see, on balance, whether the new fiscal agents for the Adult Learning program will be a net gain or not for the Adair County and the other 48 counties which have seen transfers of Adult Learning programs from local school boards to the Kentucky Community & Technical College System. - ED WAGGENER This story was posted on 2012-06-22 04:13:40
