Bismarck Career Academy ~ Laurel Reuter, ND Museum of Art

Wednesday, March 4, 2020 – High school is supposed to prepare you for your next step. For decades, students were pushed into pursuing four-year liberal arts degrees, leaving some workforce gaps in hands-on careers. Today, there's a resurgence in tech-ed. We visit with Dale Hoerauf, director of career and technical education for Bismarck Public Schools. The Bismarck Career Academy recently purchased a plane to help aviation students like Casey Wetzel, a senior hoping to become a private pilot. ~~~ Commentary on the Corona Virus situation from Mark Trahant. ~~~ The North Dakota Museum of Art has quite a calendar of interesting events coming up. Here with a museum update is executive director Laurel Reuter.  ~~~ Tom Isern shares a Plains Folk essay titled “Lightning Rods and Dollar Signs.”
