In the wake of last week’s flooding in Beaver Creek Park and some areas north of Havre, the Hill County Commission has not made a decision about whether to declare a disaster for the floods.

One discussion was how to get quality based CTE — career and technical education — and dual education credits to rural schools at a cost the state of Montana can afford. The thought is to give rural schools this opportunity through usage of virtual systems. One such program is a CNA — certified nurse assistant — class, which is currently being run out of Miles Communi...
