KTEC on fast track

It’s full speed ahead for the Kootenai Technical Education Campus. The Post Falls, Coeur d’Alene and Lakeland school districts, along with their business partners, are proceeding ahead with the professional-technical high school on the Rathdrum Prairie as if a planned bill expediting the construction will pass in the upcoming Legislature.

“We are hoping the construction timeline can be moved up (to 2011 instead of 2012) if the legislation is changed to allow us to start construction before we collect all the money” said Post Falls Superintendent Jerry Keane, who is helping shepherd the project. “We’ve decided that we are going to operate for now as if the legislation is going to be changed.

“We are moving forward with our design and programming work on a fast track schedule.” Brian Walker/Cda Press
