Students and parents in Delano as well as the Kern County Superintendent of Schools (KCSOS) are anxiously watching new construction that is taking place on Cecil Avenue near Randolph. When completed, it will be an imaginative, three building educational complex known as North Kern Community School. According to Student Services Administrator Ken Taylor, it may be open to begin enrolling students as early as March of next year. Taylor said it is a much needed facility which will provide education for students who have been expelled from their traditional schools, are on probation or because of their behavior are at risk of falling into one of those categories. He estimates 40 percent of the students in KCSOS Court and Community Schools programs come from outside the greater Bakersfield area and that the new facility will be the first effort to offer more comprehensive educational services to that population in the outlying areas. The complex will consist of an administrative building with a general purpose classroom and others for special education, technology, independent study and space for partnering agencies such as the Kern County Probation Department.
