What type of school is Liberty Tech

[smckinney]

Can someone please define to me what type of school is Liberty Tech? Are they a public school open to everyone, or are they a charter school, prep school or tuition based school? I see they are an excellent basketball team.

Liberty is part of the Jackson-Madison County public school system, just like Madison Academic. From a basketball perspective, Jackson usually has one good basketball school and one good football school each year. For years the basketball alternated between Northside and Southside while the dominant football school was JCM. Then, along came Liberty.

No outside funding...They are controlled by the Jackson/Madison Cnty School Board...

They are magnet...which means they can get their basketball players from JCM`s zone /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

They hurt Northside more than they hurt JCM.

Does that raise eyebrows?

Not what I was told Monty, but they can definitely get kids from all over Jackson.

 

Out of the four kids that are in their baseball picture in this month`s On The Ball magazine I don`t think any of them live in Liberty`s zone.
