The above notice of a public meeting was taken directly off the CWI website. There is no mention of the meeting of those sent "special invitations" to a meeting that will take place at the Nampa Civic Center at 1:30PM on the same day. This "invite only" meeting will take place 1:30-5:00PM.
The afternoon meeting must be open to the public by law. THE GUARDIAN is letting you know that you too can go and be heard at this meeting as well.
note: 8-21-2008
I attended the afternoon meeting and made an appearance at the evening meeting and the format for both meetings was identical. The course offerings they plan to offer initially, look to be for students that will matriculate to a four year institution. There was almost nothing in the way of an Associates Degree/Technical programs. Perhaps this will change with inputs derived from the meetings.

A public discourse on the issues of the day makes the world a better place.
We welcome comments but they will be moderated and edited if too long or do not have anything to do with the post.
Agree or disagree just do it without profanity or it won't get posted. Try to keep your comments to no more than 300 words. Too long and I will try to edit it down or simply delete the comment. The whole idea is to get people to read your comment. Don't use 10 words when one will do the job.
It's OK to have a difference of opinion but keep it civil. I have used the "delete" feature on myself at times.
The ANONYMOUS feature for comments seems to be the most user friendly. People have commented they have difficulty with the other methods of posting comments.
