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.

For the past 3 years KCC's basketball teams have been comprised of kids from JBS. The parents who have chosen JBS for their children are exercising their right. As for them complaining about their children not being allowed to participate in the county school sports, they pay school taxes and should have some of their money go toward their child's county sports program. As for KCC having the highest scores in the state Ha Ha. Also look at the bias against certain kids being allowed to play sports within thier own schools in Knott Co. It is who you are and what part of the county you live in. Parents are fed up with this bias and if Knott Co wants to regain these students, let them treat all kids the same. If your child does not attend JBS then you really don't know what happens there. You are either making it up or are listening to someone who also hates JBS.
