Board picks officers, excites industry leaders

The Rocket Academy achieved two goals on Tuesday with a big one left to fulfill.

The Cedar Grove-Belgium School District’s charter school appointed officers for its Governance Board and presented its plan for a regional technical education and training center to more than 30 people from area companies, including Harley-Davidson.

Those tasks were the easy ones. The Governance Board had been meeting since last September, and business leaders are thrilled with the prospect of a nearby employee pipeline where they can also send employees for continuing education.
