Press: Hip, Hip, Hooray For HS Tech

The Coeur d’Alene School District is talking about a levy later this year. North Idaho College is also aiming at leveraging tax dollars from Kootenai County property owners. Thank goodness some strong-willed, dedicated business people are making the KTEC dream come true through their own sweat, blood and hard-earned dollars. And we hope that as this professional-technical high school takes shape out on the Rathdrum Prairie, the business people who first envisioned this project are the ones whose imprint is ultimately most apparent. The news is that these business people recently closed on the 20-acre site that will be home to Kootenai Technical Education Campus/ Mike Patrick , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here .

Question: What do you make of this push by the business community to build a professional technical high school on the Rathdrum Prairie?
