The Western Benton County Career Center is a temporary solution that allows Gravette, Bentonville, Decatur and Gentry school districts to combine their efforts to offer students voc-tech courses

An update to Monday's story. The Gravette, Bentonville, Decatur and Gentry school districts will be able to collaborate financially to establish a regional career center for the districts' students after Gov. Asa Hutchinson signs Senate Bill 288 into law. Prior to this legislation, school districts were not able to spend their money outside their district boundaries.
