Floyd County School Faces Shaky Future
Mountain Christian Academy in Floyd County is in danger of closing. The Academy is losing funding from the Christian Appalachian Project.
In need of more than $100,000 to support education for 80 students from preschool to eighth grade, officials say they're facing a shaky future for the next school year.
Administrators have raised lunch prices by 50-cents and say they may be forced to cut the lunch program altogether. They say they may have to reduce salaries, or, do away with staff insurance. The school is applying for grants and attempting to increase enrollment.
