on Professional-Technical Academy
Please join us as we welcome Mark Cotner of Kootenai Technical Education Center (KTEC) to help us explore the option of adding curriculum to the Region 2 Professional Technical Academy, while keeping the ultimate goal of a technical school that can serve both high school students and the workforce in sight. Your participation is crucial in defining the path for this project and what education is included in this project – we need businesses, schools and the community to be there!!
