School officials are grateful for the support they received from State Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett regarding his appeal for leniency about the Federal Communications Commission fines against local high school radio station WJHS 91.5 FM.
“WCCS is pleased that Dr. Bennett has been willing to offer his assistance in asking the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reconsider their penalty against our radio station and school system,” said Anthony Zickgraf, director of business and operations for Whitley County Consolidated Schools. “As a state official who understands school budgets, he knows the financial impact that this fine can have on our school corporation.”
“We are very appreciative of Dr. Bennett’s support of our radio station and the issue we are currently facing,” added Dr. Laura Huffman, superintendent of Whitley County Consolidated Schools.
Zickgraf added that the school corporation has contacted Congressman Mark Souder in hopes me may look into the issue as well.
“He has directed his staff to investigate the matter,” Zickgraf said. “We appreciate that as well.”
