Western Dakota Tech Learn. Do. Now.
The South Dakota postsecondary vocational education system was conceived through the 1963 Vocational Education Act and subsequent state legislation. Western Dakota Tech is one of four technical institutes in South Dakota, it operates under a dual governance system. Tuition and state fees, program approval, and bonding issues are decided by the South Dakota Board of Technical Education. Policy, hiring, local fees, and operations are governed by the Rapid City Area Schools Board of Education, the same board that governs the K-12 district in Rapid City. The Western Dakota Tech President reports to the local School Board of the Rapid City Area Schools (RCAS) District.
