RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A community college in western South Dakota will use more than $450,000 to purchase new equipment.
The Rapid City Area School Board approved Tuesday the financial addition to its budget for Western Dakota Technical Institute. President Mark Wilson says the money will come from prior federal and state grants.
The money will be used to purchase equipment for the Information Technology Department, mannequins for medical classes and other items.
The Rapid City Journal (http://bit.ly/1BKKVUg ) reports the school also is seeking approval from the state for an expansion on its campus. Wilson says the state Board of Education could consider the request next week.
Two years ago, the state Legislature approved bonding for the expansion of the school's campus in Rapid City.
