Funds for Spokane Valley Tech included in budget proposal
The state Senate released a $3.9 billion bipartisan capital-budget proposal in April that would build classrooms, fund parks and trails and devote money to local-government projects statewide during 2015-2017. Included in the proposal was $1.1 million for the third and final phase of the Spokane Valley Tech addition which Senator Mike Padden helped secure, a press release said. 

Its third phase of development will include a large central area within the facility for students, teachers and mentors to collaborate. When completed, Spokane Valley Tech will serve more than 500 students in 10 high-demand science, technology, engineering and math programs.

"The Spokane Valley Tech addition will help provide an area to train our next generation of workers for the unfilled STEM-related jobs here in the Spokane Valley and the rest of Washington," said Padden, who serves on the Senate Ways and Means Committee. "This project has been one of the top priorities for our district and for our employers who are looking for the well-trained talent Spokane Valley Tech will produce."

A collaborative effort by Central Valley, East Valley, Freeman and West Valley School Districts, Spokane Valley Tech offers high school students an opportunity to gain technical skills and experience in growing industries with a focus on career and college readiness.
