"The Cassia Regional Technical Center is pleased with the School Board’s decision to place a bond on the ballot to upgrade, repair, and expand needed facilities in our district. The students participating in programs at Cassia Regional Technical Center will benefit as a new Diesel Tech shop, a new Residential Construction shop, and a new Electronics/Robotics classroom and lab are built in addition to the remodel of existing facilities. These additions and remodels were recommended by the Citizen’s Facility Committee and we are grateful for their insight and their support of the students who use the Cassia Regional Technical Center and participate in the programs offered."
