The Tennessean: Career college closes suddenly

Decision made months ago, but students kept in dark

Samara Gidcomb, 27, a single mother in Ashland City, was taking classes to earn her paralegal diploma.

She and other students arrived at Tennessee Career College in Donelson on Monday, the first day after a monthlong break, to find out the school was closed.

“It was a very, very devastating day for all of us,” Gidcomb said.
