Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps or JROTC

JROTC offers valuable lessons in leadership, character-building and citizenship. Here’s a look at the various JROTC programs out there together with a look at the pros and cons of the program.

Student Life | James Madison Preparatory School in Tempe, AZ

Chores

Students will be assigned specific daily responsibilities for the cleaning and upkeep of the school. These assignments will take effect during the school day and should last only a few minutes. Students will not be involved in cleaning jobs involving solvents and/or chemical cleaners. This small but important part of life at Madison Prep will not only keep the campus clean, but will serve to promote teamwork, responsibility, and school pride. Students will gain a sense of ownership in the school and will be less likely to litter or otherwise deface the campus.

Houses

Students at Madison Prep are placed into “houses,” which are also called “homerooms” or “advisor groups.”  The high school has ten houses, and the junior high has four.  Each house holds approximately 17 students, and one faculty member is assigned to every house.  The faculty advisor serves as the contact person between the school and the parents.  The advisors work with the students in their group to help guide them through their academic career and their practical college preparation. The houses are designed to be the small family units that make up the whole school community.  All houses compete with each other for house points throughout the school year to earn the honor of being Top House.  House points are earned in a wide variety of ways, and a scoreboard that shows the current standings is kept up in the front office.  

Dress Code

Schools with an enforced dress code tend to be places that are more serious about learning, with students more focused on their schoolwork. The tone at these schools is more businesslike than at schools where students wear whatever they want. This atmosphere promotes better discipline and attendance, which lead to higher achievement. The Madison Prep Dress Code is designed with modesty, simplicity, safety, efficiency, and comfort in mind. The Dress Code applies to students on campus before, during, and after school. 
The whole issue of fashion competition among peers is immediately diffused when a school dress code is put in place. There will be no contests over who can wear the shirt with the rudest slogan on it. This sort of thing is distracting to students, and it takes needed attention away from the day’s lessons. Slovenliness will simply not be accepted, because sloppy dress leads to sloppy work habits and sloppy thinking.

And to those who say that a uniform robs students of their individuality, we say that it challenges students to express themselves in other, more meaningful ways. See the handbook for the most recent dress code rules.

High School government

​America’s system of government depends on citizen participation. Madison Prep’s student government is no different, and it includes all three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial. The Judicial Branch of Madison Prep’s unique Student Government includes the Supreme Court Justices, Clerk and Bailiffs, the Attorney General and staff, and a cadre of defense attorneys. The Supreme Court hears all misdemeanor cases, which come to the court as tickets written by teachers or upperclassmen. Any student with such a ticket is summoned for a preliminary hearing, at which hearing a plea (guilty or not guilty) is entered. If guilty, the judges determine the student’s sentence. If not guilty, then a trial is scheduled, cases are built by the Attorney General and the defense attorney(s), and witnesses are deposed in preparation for the trial.  
The nine justices on the Supreme Court are appointed by the Student Body President and confirmed by the Senate (senators are made up of 2 students from each high school house). Once confirmed, the justices elect their Chief Justice and are ready to begin hearing cases, a responsibility that they take seriously. 
The Court conducts preliminary hearings and full trials as needed, and these reflect many aspects of the American judicial system, including the use of the rules of evidence, protection of the rights of the accused, and punishments that fit the crimes. Each student is required to participate in the Madison student government and is evaluated based on his/her involvement and effort. Students will receive a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grade each trimester. 
Students will experience at least two of the three branches of the government during a four-year high school career, and they might, in some cases, change branches during a school year in order to enhance the experiential nature of this learning process.  
We are devoting time and resources to actualizing student and faculty participation in each branch, with checks and balances on the limited powers defined for each. Real legislation will be drafted, real compromises will be reached in the passage of bills, and real decisions will be made regarding school functions, social activities, enrichment club activities, student fundraising, and other appropriate student issues in accordance with the School Constitution. The student government also will be responsible each trimester for choosing a community service project for the school population to carry out in the larger Phoenix area community. 
As in the American system, the legislative branch will draft and pass legislation, the executive branch will sign or veto passed legislation and enforce signed legislation, and the judicial branch will adjudicate alleged breaches of campus rules. Naturally, school administration will deal with egregious student infractions, transcending the student government. In order to keep the government focused and moving ahead, the president will address the student body with a prepared speech at least once a year. 

As in the American system, a free press is essential. In the Madison Prep system, a small number of students and one faculty member will stand outside the student government to report on its activities via The Federalist, the student newspaper.

JH Student Government

The James Madison Preparatory Junior High government was set up for two reasons. First, to train the junior high students in the way of the government system. This is a small way to prepare them for the experience of our student government here in the high school when they move on.  The second reason the council was created was to give the middle school students a way to plan activities for the junior high. Last year they council planned a movie outdoor movie night, a game night, sold t-shirts and hosted an alternative food day.

Assembly

Each school day includes a morning assembly between first and second periods at which all students and staff members take part in the Pledge of Allegiance, a moment of quiet reflection, announcements, and other presentations that promote learning and the Code of Conduct.   These presentations are often of a historical or motivational nature.  A different teacher runs the assembly each day.  Morning Assembly only takes about twenty minutes and is designed to build and promote school community cohesion.

In the event there are more students who desire to attend an ASU Preparatory Academy campus than there are seats available, a public lottery will be held to determine which students will be admitted and which students will be placed on the waiting list, as well as the order of the waitlist. This is done in accordance with A.R.S 15-184. The lottery is per campus and grade – not all campuses/grades have a waitlist.

All forms submitted by 12 p.m. on the Friday before the lottery are recognized as lottery participants. Those applicants not meeting the deadline will be placed on a first-come, first-serve basis after the lottery participants. Applicants who are offered enrollment will receive a call with instructions on how to accept the seat and complete registration paperwork. The Lottery for the upcoming school year is held on the 2nd Tuesday of December for all grades.



Guardianship Requirements

All students enrolling must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. If you are the legal guardian, you will need to provide one of the following items:

  • Current Valid Court Order
  • Arizona Court Appointed Guardianship Papers
  • Documentation from Superior Court of Arizona showing the pending court date for your Guardianship hearing. Final papers must be provided within a week of the hearing date.





K-12 Procedures

After the lottery has taken place and as seats become available, the next family on the waitlist will be contacted and given an offer of enrollment. Please be prepared to provide the following:

  • Within 24 hours of the contact phone call and/or email, the family will need to advise ASU Preparatory Academy of their interest in accepting the seat being offered.
  • Within 48 hours of accepting the seat, the family must submit all documents listed in the Enrollment Offer email they receive. Once all completed paperwork is submitted, families will receive confirmation of receipt.
  • Students are not officially enrolled until all paperwork has been received and the proper notification from the school official has occurred.
  • Please do not withdraw your child from their current school until all of the above procedures have occurred.

If the 24 and/or 48 hour deadlines are not met by families, we will recognize this as a decline of the seat offered and your child will be removed from the waitlist.

New students enrolling with ASU Preparatory Academy after the first day of school must be in attendance within 5 school days of the acceptance of the seat.











What constitutes a sibling or what does it mean to have sibling priority?

ASU Preparatory Academy recognizes the importance of families wanting to have all their children attend the same school. The sibling priority will first be applied to those students that have siblings currently attending ASU Preparatory Academy. To those students who have been offered and accepted a place at ASU Preparatory Academy at the time of Lottery, all remaining siblings will first participate in their own lottery. If the sibling isn’t selected, they will then be placed on the sibling priority waitlist. Recognized siblings of currently enrolled students are given priority by being placed above the general public waitlists. Therefore, when/if a seat becomes available, a sibling is offered the seat first. Although we cannot guarantee seats for all siblings, we do our best to accommodate all siblings first.

Documentation may be requested to confirm sibling preference.

What constitutes a sibling

  • a full brother or full sister living as one family unit at the same address or living at separate addresses;
  • a half brother or half sister living as one family unit at the same address or living at separate addresses;
  • an adoptive brother or adoptive sister living as one family at the same address foster brother or foster sister living as one family unit at the same address;
  • a stepbrother or stepsister living as one family unit at the same address.

Children of shared households are NOT siblings

Top 10 Online Charter Schools of 2022

Have you seen the benefits of online charter schools and are now looking for the best ones you can enroll your children in? look no further. This article was created especially for you.

It is common knowledge that schools and colleges help raise children, and as a parent, enrolling them in good schools is one of the best decisions you will make.

Charter schools have adopted the online learning model which helps students learn at their own pace and from the comfort of their own homes, as opposed to the traditional method where you would need to be present in the school environment to take lessons.

Now, just as you look for some things at the university before enrolling, there are things you should look out for when choosing a charter school for your child, especially online. You should check things like accreditation, class sizes, experience of online tutors, etc.

Before I continue my explanation, I hope you fully understand what an online charter school is. Okay, I’ll shed more light on this.

What is an online charter school?

When you hear about an online charter school, two things come to mind. First a charter school and then online learning.

Charter schools are educational institutions that do not operate under the direction of a school district board, but are regulated by an independent board. This does not mean that they violate national laws. No, they abide by it, but their mode of operation is determined by a set of standards known as bylaws.

Online now simply says that lessons and lectures are delivered through virtual tools or online learning platforms.

So, an online charter school is an institution that uses online learning platforms for students and is not regulated by the school district council, but by an independent body.

It is also important to note that, unlike private schools, charter schools are free of charge and open to everyone. This is just one of the hundred and one benefits of a charter school.

Without further ado, let me show you the best online charter schools you can find. I will list and explain them, so I expect you to follow me closely.

But before you do that, here are ways you can choose the best charter school;

  • Curriculum : Curriculum plays a huge role in choosing a charter school. Make sure you go through this carefully.
  • Teaching style : A good online charter school will also be focused on targeted learning. Confirm if the one you choose highlights it.
  • Self-paced learning: The learning system should allow you to learn at your own pace with focused and meaningful lessons.

Let’s look at the schools now;

Charter schools – alternative secondary education

“Good morning! Good morning everyone! ”- with these words, every school day at the Draw Academy charter school in a quiet immigrant district of Houston begins with these words. The students are greeted in the hallway of the school by two, Fernando and Jimmy. Both are in black. Both are elegant and imposing. Jimmy is the local school cat. Fernando Donatti is the director and founder of the school.

“His full name is Jim Two,” Fernando smiles and scratches the cat behind the ear. Jim One, a framed portrait of a cat by the front door, was inherited from the building’s previous owner, an appliance distribution company.

Fernando and Jimmy greet the students with the dignity and hospitality of sovereign masters of a small but cozy world – the world of primary and secondary schools, which Fernando, an architect from Argentina, created with his own hands.

“Ten years ago there were mice and rats running around in these corridors,” says Fernando. “Jimmy dispersed them all. And I repaired the building and, together with the students and the teaching staff, built computer classes, an experimental garden, a chemical laboratory and even a television studio.”

It’s all run by kids today. Draw Academy opened its doors eleven years ago. Then, in the late nineties, charter schools were just beginning to come into vogue. The first charter school in Texas was established in 1996. Today there are 212.

“There are a lot of rumors about charter schools,” says Fernando. – Mostly unbelievers. It is believed that charter schools are hotbeds of crime and marginalized elements. Nothing like this. In terms of academic performance, we are not inferior to ordinary public schools, and in terms of their growth, we are even ahead of many.”

Charter schools are a successful experiment in the American education system. They combine elements of private and public schools. Not being accountable to any RONO, charter schools are funded from public funds, which provides students with free education. Thus, charter schools are private enterprises using public resources. In doing so, they do without the extra bureaucratic red tape and hurdles that government agencies usually put in place for schools, which allows charter schools to conduct educational experiments that are completely unthinkable within ordinary schools.

“Our work is based on the premise that all children are different,” says Fernando Donatti. “Different children need different approaches to learning. The system of education adopted in public schools is not a panacea.”

Since the opening of the school in 1998, Fernando, together with the teachers of the school, began to implement two experimental educational programs at once: a program of instruction in two languages ​​- English and Spanish – and a program for mixed ages.

“Our school is located in the predominantly Hispanic immigrant neighborhood of the city,” says Fernando, himself a native of Buenos Aires. – Most of the children who come to us do not speak English at all. Although there are those who, without learning English, have already forgotten their native Spanish. Basically, upon admission to our school, students do not fully speak any language. Most of their families have a very low culture of communication, and even their native Spanish in these children is at a rudimentary level. Our task is to teach children English and keep their native Spanish at a level that allows full communication.”

Draw Academy students are not all from Latin American countries. There are children of immigrants from Africa and Asia. These children learn English and Spanish on an equal footing with everyone else.

“Regardless of their background, all of our graduates leave school fluent in English and Spanish,” says Fernando proudly.

The school’s second experimental program is mixed-age education. The classes are attended by children of different ages, as once in rural schools. According to Fernando, such an education system allows for an individual approach to each student.

“We separate children not by age, but by ability,” he says. – In the end, it is important how a person works and what he is capable of, and not how old he is. Why does a second grader who is at the fifth grade level have to sit in the second? This is absurd.”

In general, there is little in the school that reminds of traditional education. In classrooms, for example, there are no desks. Instead, there are tables for groups of up to six children of different ages. Students work together and independently, each at their own level of knowledge and ability. During the classes, teachers have time to work individually with each student. There is enough time for this, because there is no traditional class hour either.

“We don’t have bells and breaks at school,” says 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teacher Diego Restrepo. – Calls only interfere with children’s work. Children can leave the classroom at any time if necessary and with permission. No one abuses this freedom in our country, because it is interesting to study. Children like to study, not to play the fool in the corridors of the school.

Charter schools as a phenomenon are still in the experimental phase. And although there are already statistics on the performance of charter students in comparison with the performance of students in regular schools, a long-term analysis of the performance of charter schools does not yet exist.

“But we already have graduates,” Fernando boasts. Some people visit us. They sometimes visit. I immediately put them to work: paint the walls, repair the floors. They do it with joy. They like to work with us, but I do not allow empty parties. By the way, in all these years, not a single student has left us. Everyone finished their studies and everyone graduated.”

What is the future of charter schools?

“Yes, I wanted to open a second school,” Fernando reflects. – But I decided that the school is not McDonald’s in order to open new outlets throughout the city. It’s hard to keep track of the two schools. I will be sprayed, the quality of teaching will fall. So we will work with new students in the old school – this is our future.”

– selection of the right type of education –

The correct choice of education Guarantee that your child is safe and healthy at all times. Every parent is most concerned with how they can contribute to success in their children’s lives. In addition, some parents find that private lessons and participation in extracurricular activities contribute to a well-rounded sense of being a child.

There are also parents who find that sending their kids to summer camp and encouraging them to volunteer helps build character and independence.

There is no single method that all parents must follow.

But there are several different proven paths they can consider. And in this article you will learn about them.

Why extra-curricular activities are so important for children

No wonder children need a lot of external stimuli to develop their body and mind.

After all, younger children are encouraged to play, color, pretend and explore in a safe environment so they can develop at a normal pace.

As your child gets a little older, organized extracurricular activities are highly recommended.

More information

Their school may have many different clubs and sports that they can participate in.

If your child stays with a particular activity for many years, he may become more proficient in that area.

In general, participating in sports, debate teams, or even chess clubs will help your child grow socially and mentally, which is essential for college preparation.

Enrollment in private and specialized schools

Selecting the right type of education: Parents must enroll their children in a school by the time they reach the age of five.

At the local level there will be at least one public school to choose from in most cases.

There may also be charter and other specialty schools that promote the study of core subjects as well as specialize in certain career paths such as STEM and the arts.

At Inspection Academy, the kids are set for success. Unlike other private schools in its class, students here are prepared for college success from the start.

SAT Testing and Exam Preparation

To get into a good college, children must learn to take standardized tests.

All states in the US have administered various standardized tests to school-age children over the years to help measure their progress.

If you wish, they can also take the SAT and SAT pre-tests as a means of getting into high school. SAT scores are used by most colleges to measure and compare candidates.

More information

The best news of all is that children can take these types of standardized tests repeatedly until they earn a credit score.

Well-prepared children are simply more likely to be accepted into good colleges and focus on their future careers.

The sooner you teach your children the importance of being all-inclusive in their interests and efforts, the more serious they will be about achieving high standards.

More information

Enrolling your child in the best private school is one way to help them succeed.

Preparing them for the pre-SAT and SAT is another way to help prepare them for a brighter future.

First of all, you want your child to be unique and have many great traits if they want to do their best in life in general.

The above should help you in choosing the right education for your child to succeed.

Choice of Focus

Some schools offer a wider range of education than others. If it is important for your child to learn a second language in primary school.

Choose a primary school that includes foreign language as the main part of the curriculum.

If you want your child to study art or get a religious education, look for schools that offer these components.

Due to the cold weather, parental chats are discussing at what temperature it is possible not to send children to school. Perm teachers respond with reference to the order of the deputy head of administration and part-time head of the education department dated December 21, 2016. We studied this document and the recommendations of the Ministry of Education to find out under what conditions schoolchildren can stay at home.

According to the order, students of grades 1-7 of Perm schools may not go to classes at temperatures of -25 °C and below. Children from grades 8-11 can stay at home only if the temperature has dropped to -28 °C.

However, being able to stay at home does not mean that you won’t have to study school subjects. The order says that for the period of cold weather, schools should organize training using remote technologies.

Other territories of the Perm Territory, like Perm, independently establish the conditions under which children may not go to school. There are no uniform norms that are mandatory for all districts, but the Ministry of Education of the region recommends allowing children in grades 1-4 to stay at home if the temperature outside drops to -25 … -28 ° С, children up to 9-th class – if the thermometer shows -28 . .. -30 ° С. The department believes that students in grades 10-11 can not go to school if it gets colder to -30 … -32 ° С.

“The school administration and class teachers should inform parents about the working hours during the cold season,” the ministry said. Parents have the right to decide on their own whether their child attends school. Even if parents decide to send their children to school even at low temperatures, classes will be held in the usual format. If the parents decide not to send the child to classes, then it is necessary to notify the class teacher about this.

According to the forecast of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, schoolchildren from the Kama region may have a chance to stay at home this week. So, in Perm on the night of January 13-14, it should get colder to -27 ° С. If the child is studying on the first shift, at the time when he should go to school, the temperature may be just at the level of -25 ° C, at which it is not necessary to attend lessons.

It will be even colder in the north of the Perm Territory. For example, on the day of January 13, -25 °С is predicted in Berezniki, and the next night the temperature may drop to -30 °С. In Cherdyn, it will get even colder – up to -27 … -34 ° С.

As a reminder, on January 11 schoolchildren and students of the Perm Territory returned to full-time education after a distance period, which for many lasted from November 16.

    F.G. Burroughs Steamboat

    Original Myrtle Beach Air Force Base during World War II

    Rainbow Court (built from 1935 to 1959), now demolished, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

    Before the arrival of Europeans Long Bay the area was inhabited by the indigenous Waccamaw tribe. Waccamaw used the river for travel and fished on the banks around Little River. Watis Island, the main barrier island along Long Bay, has evidence of burials and burial mounds, the remains of a visiting Wakkam. [10]

    The first European settlers along Long Bay arrived in the late 18th century, trying to expand the plantation system outward to the ocean. [11] Records of this period are sparse, most of the recorded history being collected from old land grant documents. These settlers were met with mixed results, producing negligible amounts of indigo and tobacco, as the coastal soil was sandy and much of the crop was of poor quality.

    Prior to the American Revolution, the area along the future Grand Strand was virtually uninhabited. Several families received land grants on the coast, including the Withers: John, Richard, William, and Mary. This family received the area around the modern Wither Swash, also known as the Myrtle Swash or the Eight Mile Swash. A separate grant was made to James Minor, including a barrier island called Little Island, now Whetis Island, off the coast of the Little River. [12] :36

    Mary Withers’ headstone at Prince George Vigna Episcopal Church speaks of the ex-Strand’s remoteness: “She withdrew from the pleasures of society and retired to Long Bay, where she lived most of her life devoted to the welfare of her children.” [13]

    When the American colonies gained independence, the territory remained practically unchanged, and the coast remained barren. George Washington scouted the southern states during his term, traveling along the King’s Highway. He stayed overnight at Windy Hill (part of present-day North Myrtle Beach) and was taken through Wither’s Swash to Georgetown by user Jeremiah Vereen. [12] :51

    The Withers family remained one of the few settlers around Myrtle Beach for the next half century. In 1822, a hurricane swept R. F. Withers’ house into the ocean, drowning 18 people inside. The tragedy forced the Withers family to give up their plots on the coast. Left unattended, the area began to return to the forest. [12] :58

    The Burroughs and Collins Conway Company, the forerunner of today’s Burroughs and Chapin, purchased most of the Withers family’s land in 1881, and the growing community was named “New Town” in the early 20th century. And the post of Russia under the name “Withers” was founded in 1888 to serve the territory of the old Swash. February 28 1899 years Burroughs and Collins received a charter to build the Conway & Seashore Railroad to transport timber from the coast to domestic buyers. The railway began daily traffic on May 1, 1900 with two wood-burning diesel locomotives. One of the engines was named Black Maria and was bought used by a North Carolina logging operation.

    After the railroad is completed, the employees of the logging and railroad company will go to the train. platforms on a free weekend to the beach, becoming the first tourists of the Grand Strand. [14] The terminus of the railway station was nicknamed “New Town”, as opposed to “Old Town”, or Conway.

    Around the beginning of the 20th century, Franklin Burroughs envisioned turning New Town into a tourist destination rivaling the Florida and Northeast beaches. Burroughs died in 1897, but his sons completed the railroad extension to the beach and opened the Seaside Inn in 1901. [15]

    Around 1900, a contest was held to name the area, and Burroughs’ wife offered to commemorate the local abundant shrub, southern wax myrtle ( Myrica cerifera ). Shortly thereafter, the post office in Withers changed its name to “Myrtle Beach”. It was incorporated as a city in 1938 and as a city in 1957. [16]

    In 1937, the Myrtle Beach Municipal Airport was built. It was taken over by the US Army Air Corps in 1940 and converted into a military base. Commercial flights began in 1976 and shared the runway for over 15 years until the airbase closed in 1993. The airport has since been named Myrtle Beach International Airport. In 2010 plans for the construction of a new terminal were approved. At 19The King’s Highway was finally paved in 1940, giving Myrtle Beach its first major highway.

    The Myrtle Heights Oak Park Historic District, Myrtle Beach Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Station, Ocean Forest Country Club, Pleasant Inn, and Rainbow Court are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Also listed were the Chesterfield Inn [17] and the Myrtle Beach Pavilion, both now demolished. Gay Dolphin Gift Cove on the Boardwalk was built in 1946 and sells shells and souvenirs from Myrtle Beach. It claims to be “the largest souvenir shop in the country”.

    Railroad

    At Waccama Coastline, the railroad is a 14.1-mile (22.7 km) short line railroad splitting the Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad, [59] based on connection with the Carolina Southern Railroad, yet one division of that company, from Conway to Myrtle Beach. The line was opened in 1900 by the Conway Coast and Western Railway, the predecessor of the Atlantic Coast Railway. [60] The Seaside Railroad System sold the line to Horry County on November 1985 and operated by the Horry County Railway until October 1987 when the WCLR took over. [61] The Carolina Southern Railroad acquired WCLR in September 1995 and has been a division of the Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad ever since. [62] Horry County owns this line, but leased it to the Southern Carolina Railroad in 2000. [63]

    Carolina Southern Railroad is a short rail operator operating on railroad less than 95 miles (153 km) with a top speed of 10 miles per hour (16 km/h). It transports mainly goods brought to it by national rail operators. The company makes one scheduled delivery per month to the city of Myrtle Beach. [64] It is located off Main Street in Conway, South Carolina and is one of the few remaining railroad depots in South Carolina. It has been painstakingly restored to its former glory, and the Carolina Southern Railroad has become one of the frequent destinations for freight, as well as passenger cars and observation locomotives. The railroad was originally completed in late 1886, and the first train arrived at the Conway depot in December 1887.

    The Carolina Southern Railroad is a permanent landmark in the history of the South. The Carolina Southern Railroad is a member of the Carolina Rails system with connections from Whiteville, NC to Mullins, SC and from Chadbourne, NC to Conway. The Carolina Southern Railroad is also responsible for operating the Waccamaw Coast Line, which runs from Conway to Myrtle Beach.

    On August 30, 2011, the Carolina Southern Railroad voluntarily closed due to several bridges along the railroad being overdue for repairs. The shutdown caused the Carolina Southern Railroad to lay off almost all of its employees. On May 24, 2012, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) began inspection of bridges on the CSR and the Waccamaw Shoreline (a section of the Horry County Railroad). Of the 187 bridges, 52 were examined, seven had critical defects. On May 26, 2011, CSR voluntarily stopped operations to engage a certified bridge engineer to inspect seven critical bridges and prepare a plan for their repair. Based on the engineer’s recommendations, CSR completed the necessary repairs to the bridges, and CSR resumed operations on August 8, 2011. The FRA returned to inspect the bridges and recommended that CSR cease operations until all bridge repairs were completed. [65] There are attempts to bring the railway back into operation. [66] [67] [68] [69] [70] [71] [72] [73] [74] [74] [74]

    In 2015, rail operator RJ Corman purchased the former CSR line and reopened its freight service in early April 2016. [76]
