[Vision2020] Task force tweaks education reform

[Sue Hovey]

I know the principal/supt in Elk City.  I’ll give her a call by the weekend and just find out her take on all this.  And by the way she graduated from MHS way back when she was Susie Williams.  She also taught at MJHS.  Great teacher.

Y’know, Elk City is served by a state highway, and gets pretty regular service from the ITD snow plows.  I think it’s pretty rare that you *can’t* get there.

Not that I’m speaking for or against any of these education reforms, but sheesh, it is a relatively accessible place.  I think First Step has even made some pretty good inroads to that area with high-speed and wireless service (they’re everywhere!).

Going beyond Elk City, now you might be talking about some difficulty.

  A friend told me years ago... Back in the day... *laugh* not sure of the EXACT date, once a student in Elk City became high school age, they would attend high school in Grangeville. This would consist of finding a family to live with, then, going home on weekends.

  Computers would be great for students in Elk City. 

  *thinking*

  Hmmm.. I wonder if there is a regular connection during winter?
