Signup still open for GED students

Kenzie Fairchild is teaching six students in the General Education Development (GED) class at the Shackelford County library on Monday and Tuesday nights, but she still has room for a few more pupils.

“We began classes Sept. 10,” said Fairchild. “But registration is still open for new enrollees each Monday.”

Registrants should be at least 19 years old and have an ID.

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

Students do not have to pay for the class, as it is funded by a grant from Texas Workforce Commission. However, students are expected to pay for the four exams, if possible. 

The Albany GED class meets at the county library on Mondays and Tuesdays, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. throughout the school year, following the AISD holiday schedule.
