Riverside Considering Addition of STEM Schools

Hyatt Elementary in Riverside has been proposed to house a STEM Academy for students through eighth grade, and eventually expanding to high school grades.  One advantage to the site is the proximity of UC Riverside, as well as the Box Springs Mountain preserve.  Board consideration is expected in early March.  http://www.pe.com/local-news/topics/topics-education-headlines/20120221-riverside-hyatt-elementary-proposed-for-stem-academy.ece  Additionally, REACH (Reaching Excellence in Academics through Community and Homeschool partnerships) Leadership Academy charter school's petition is being proposed for approval by the Riverside Unified School Board.  The charter is expected to focus on STEM and innovative practices.  Riverside teachers were among those who helped to draft the charter petition and plan.  http://www.pe.com/local-news/topics/topics-education-headlines/20120220-riverside-board-expected-to-grant-school-charter.ece
