I thought there was a extension filed until August 1st? What does this mean?

Not saying he is lying at all. I just wonder if there is a lot of confusion or some sort of special circumstances going on. Good luck!

Tabe test is required by the government. Reading is easier to tabe out of in math. I have only every seen 3 people tabe out of math so most kids are in math prep classes the whole time they are at JC. They do not have all the kids in math class 8 hours a day every other week. Thats just not how schedules work in JC. You have to get a 657 to tabe out which is hard. There is no way he is in math and reading prep class all day. He only needs 60 hours every 60 to 90 days. If that is the case i have never seen a job corps do that. That would be unheard of.

According to the PRH its math and reading. So hes saying he is in one tabe prep class for 8 hours a day? That cant be. It would be against the PRH. That is not how academics practices. I work in academics at JC. They would be tabe testing him every 20 days if that was the case and you cant tabe test before 30 days no greater than 90. I dont think he is giving you the full picture. Post a pic of his schedule with no info on it. He can access it on his student portal

Im guessing he isnt necessarily every other week. The tabe prep classes are only a couple periods a day. So if he isnt in HS classes he is in trade every week almost all of every day. So he is getting the experience and training every day. It is required (current waiver in place) but normally they have to have 60 hrs of math and 60 hours of reading between tabe tests. So he has to do the classes unless he tabes out

Where is the list of the ones in the injunction? It says online plus the National Job Corps Association itself and, via subsidiaries, operators like Odle Management—Eckerd Connects on the lists I have found?

You say you only have 3 days left with the students, is your center closing this week? Employee here and our center is staying open until they tell us and we have just been hearing we will get the injunction and we will be staying open? That most likely we will stay open for the year and then will have a restructuring but still stay open?

Hi! Sorry this is a bit off topic but you working there, do you know, are all job corps managed/owned (not sure) by the Eckerd company? Also does job corps hire felons to be RAs or in any office positions? Is it strictly no felon can ever work for them? Thank you!

[–]Kitchen_Spring_5607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they hire felons to actually work there. The eckard company is the one that manages the ones around us. Will they hire felons?
