Open registration for the Albany General Education Development (GED) classes will continue on Monday nights at the Shackelford County Library, according to local instructor Kenzie Fairchild. 

“You will need to bring an acceptable form of identification to register,” Fairchild said. “In order to qualify, one must be at least 17 years of age (with parent’s consent) or older.” 

The Albany GED class will meet at the county library on Mondays and Tuesdays at a new time of 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. throughout the school year, following the AISD holiday schedule. 

“Child care is not available,” said Fairchild. “And students must commit to regular attendance and accumulate 40 hours of class time.”

A grant from Texas Workforce Commission funds the class.

Students are responsible for paying for the tests if they wish to receive their GED, but Fairchild anticipates that the Albany Community Chest will cover the costs of the exams again this year.
