Any advice on the education pay there. I have a daughter, her brother and father are already there. We are looking to purchase a home. We would rather build than buy...but we reallly dont want to stay with relatives. My goal was to secure a job prior to moving, but the only accesse to employment information that I have is online. I will be there in July, but the schools will be closed, so I believe it will be difficult for me to search for employment then. Any advice or directions are greatly appreciated. My plan was to move there within the next 3 years, but if I could get there by summer next year....that would do my and my daughters heart good. I am looking for a school of performing and creative arts for my daughter to attend...If anyone has information please send.
