JBS does charge tuition..however they also gave scholarship money to basketball players they wanted that they did not have. (old news) NOW, they do not have enough students paying tution to keep the school running..pay teachers..provide lunch.. etc. So technically I guess they are out of fairy dust..
I don't just want their basketball program to go under..I want the entire school to close.
JBS has zero opportunity for social interaction, their teachers are teachers who could not get hired in the public school system, and they do take students from the Knott feeder system..not just athletics..academics..numbers..etc.
I despise the private school system. period..which is pretty well known.
ALSO, I hate the way parents complain that their students cannot participate in our gradeschool tournements, junior athletic feeder programs, etc. ... Hazard doesn't participate in the Perry County grade school tourney. It's ridiculous.
THEN, if JBS takes a special education student from the county..we are required to pay for that said student's accomodations..
I apologize if it offends anyone, but I think it is ridiculous..especially when Knott County has some of the highest test scores in the state.

I promise you they aren't running on fairy dust lol
They have a tight budget but they make it because of rich donors, tuition, and the fact that pretty much every job at the school that doesn't require a teaching degree is paid for by Uncle Sam via Alice Lloyd's "Work Study" program.

I won't argue with you on the social interaction thing too much...
but some kids would definitely benefit from smaller classes.

I worked at Camp Nathanael and there were a lot of Christian School kids, private school kids, and home school kids that came through....
it isn't for everybody lol
