The American Sign Language (ASL) class at MLWGS no longer has Dual Enrollment status with J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College (JSRCC). In order to keep the class a dual-credit course MLWGS would have needed to pay around $20,000 to JSRCC.
According to the MLWGS Director, Mr. Douglas Hunt, there just isn't room in the budget right now to be able to pay for the Dual Enrollment credits. "They're reorganizing the whole community college system, [such as] the financial and teaching requirements," said Hunt.
The end of the program was unexpected and, for many current ASL students, highly disappointing.
