Kodiak Area Chamber Actively Seeks
State Vocational School Be Set Here
Declaring Kodiak has all the fa
cilities and services ol a modern
city, the Kodiak Chamber of Com
merce passed a resolution Thurs
day, for the State Vocation school
to be built in or near Kodiak.
Copies of the resolution were to
be prepared and sent to the State
Legislature and Governor inform
ing them of the advantages of Ko
diak for the proopsed Kodiak-Aleu
tian Island district school. The 32,
200,000 bond issue to finance the
school was authorized by popular
vote last November.
The Chamber also went on rec
ord calling for immediate feasibil
ity studies to begin, so the school
can be constructed by 1964, the
target date.
Suggestion was also directed to
the advantages of integrating the
state school with the existing Ko
diak school district facilities. The
resolution noted that academic
courses common to both schools
could be taught in the expanded
existing facility, with the shops and
dormitories being constructed on
Kodiak school property.
VOCATIONAL PROGRAM
Former State Representative
Pete Deveau warned the Chamber
to give “serious consideration to
the integration of education prob
lem.” He noted that the State
School is to be a vocational school
offering a minimum of curriculum
in such subjects as English and
math.
“They won’t be here to qualify
for a college education, but only
for a four year vocational training
course in the trade they seek,”
said Deveau.
He questioned who was to pay
for the increased cost of educating
those students who do attend some
of the Kodiak school courses, while
in vocational school.
President Art Brooks of the
Chamber, admitted there were
problems to work out, but pointed
out that the resolution was aware
of such problems, and it was the
Chamber’s desire to get the school
project underway as soon as pos
sible to comply with the vote of
the people.
