Christa: Hats Off To KTEC Organizers

RE: KTEC passes in all three districts/Alison Boggs, SR

Christa Hazel: KTEC supporters should be commended for the job well done. Passing any levy in our area is not an easy task. Add to that the hurdle of our uncertain economy and the uphill climb gets even longer. Additionally, it was an August levy ran against conventional wisdom. The Consortium folks (Ron Nilson in particular) and district administration made themselves available at many different functions county wide for months. Time spent in meetings was time not spent with loved ones. While I was not supportive, I can respect the outcome. Hopefully now we can begin to build KTEC and look to the future beyond KTEC to address the myriad of issues that affect our public education. Most importantly, I am appreciative for those who took the time to vote.

Question: Were you surprised by the outcome of the levy elections for the Kootenai Technical Education Campus?
