"It was a fantastic relationship having such a program in our school, which is an AT RISK Alternative High School. It provided the needed wisdom and opportunity for students to compete with other students statewide, in a competitive business/economic development environment. Every business owner should be familiar with economic development before starting a business, for business is only one element of economic development.
Economic Development is the larger picture and where the control is residing" Barbara Moore (Seattle School District Principal) South Lake High School, Seattle, Washington)
