Career & Technical Education Month Continues (From the At-A-Glance 02/15/2019)

We are in the heart of Career & Technical Education Month and want to take this opportunity to share the second half of our 2017-2018 Regional Planning Partnership Grant Recipients! IN an earlier issue of the At-A-Glance you witnessed how districts were using their grants, today you will get to see more about how the equipment and programs purchased through the grant are making a difference in the classroom. Watch the Regional Planning Partnership video (part 2) here!
