GUEST COLUMN: Pima JTED Started an Economic Engine. Now We Must Expand It to Meet Unprecedented Demand

In 2005, I learned something from educator Kathy Prather and then-Superintendent of the Tucson Unified School District Roger Pfeuffer that stopped me in my tracks: Pima County was about the only county in Arizona that did not have a Joint Technical Education District (JTED). Because of that, our local students were missing out on state enrollment funding for high school vocational and technical skill training. Ten other JTEDs across Arizona were receiving millions of dollars each year to enhance career and technical programs, such as automotive and aviation technologies, nursing, construction, welding, robotics and manufacturing, culinary arts, and more, while our youth were left without the same opportunities.
