The two-toned, tan building that houses DeSoto County Career and Technology Center was constructed in the 1970s. Olive Branch officials tabled a request by DeSoto County Schools to put additional classroom trailers at the site for an HVAC program. (Toni Lepeska/The Daily Memphian)
The mayor and Board of Aldermen made its request last year and reiterated it again this month after DeSoto County Schools asked Olive Branch to approve putting classroom trailers at Career Tech East.
