The Corbin Board of Education took the next step in the construction of the Corbin Career Center during a special called meeting last Thursday by authorizing the issuance of $4.3 million in bonds.
Superintendent Dave Cox said the bonds will pay for not only the construction of the 9,100 square foot stand alone building on property behind the high school but also the replacement of the elevator at the Corbin Traditional School building on Kentucky Ave.
“This way we won’t have to pay the fees twice,” Cox said of the cost of the bond sale.
Cox said site work has begun for the career center project, with the goal of starting actual construction in July.
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.
