CORBINâAfter nearly 30 years in the Corbin Independent school system, John Crawford is retiring as principal of Corbin High School.
âItâs been an honor,â Crawford said of his time serving as principal at Corbin High School. âIâve been blessed. I was in the right place at the right time to be able to sit in this seat. It has been an honor to serve here and hopefully Iâve had a positive impact here on a few students and on a few teachers and if so, then thatâll make me happy.â

CORBINâThe Corbin Independent School District will be offering nearly 80 students a âdo-overâ year for 2021-22 after the Corbin Board of Education approved Senate Bill 128 during Thursdayâs special called meeting.
In March, Gov. Andy Beshear signed Senate Bill 128 into law, a bill that created the Supplemental School Year Program, an emergency legislation allows any K-12 student enrolled during the 2020-2021 school year to use the 2021-2022 school year as a supplemental year to retake or supplement courses the student already has taken. SB 128 specifically states that the supplemental year is for students to re-take or supplement courses previously taken during the 2020-2021 year, not to simply gain an additional year in the public school system to explore new coursework.

The Corbin Board of Education took the first step to keep virtual learning as an option for the 2021-22 school year during a special called meeting Tuesday night by approving a virtual learning waiver.
Superintendent Dave Cox said it is not a guarantee that virtual learning will be offered at Corbin schools.
“The Kentucky Department of Education is just keeping track of which districts may offer some type of virtual learning,” Cox said explaining that the district may opt at a later date not to do so.
Cox said before a final decision is made, a survey will be sent out to parents/guardians to guage the amount of interest in students participating in virtual learning.
