According to a Nov. 25 article on the website of CBS affiliate News Channel 3 WMMT, current and former students are playing an important role in the effort to save the program:
More than 130 kids are sitting in limbo right now, waiting to hear if they'll get to attend the academy in January. [On Nov. 24] cadets and graduates hand-delivered letters to every legislator in the state with signatures from all those kids.
The academy will shut down the day after Christmas unless lawmakers restore funding. ...
Over the past 10 years the program has helped nearly 1,800 at-risk teens clean up their acts and get their lives on track.
