The Marshall County Commissioners agreed to reduce speed on a county road by Ancilla College.
Marshall County Highway Administrator Laurie Baker brought up the topic during Monday’s meeting. The speed limit by The Lake House is believed to be too fast for the students walking along the road and crossing the road at that location.
An open house and ribbon cutting ceremony was held Tuesday morning to usher in a new chapter to the array of specialized programs that Ancilla College offers its students. The Autism Program at Ancilla College (APAC) will help students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to build social and workplace skills along with academic and real-world knowledge.
Students with ASD may have superior intellectual ability but are challenged in social situations or have a communication gap. The APAC will allow growth in these aspects as the students gather skills in their post-secondary education.
