Thematic shifts in store for 3 schoolsMore information at the full article.
Unit 4 plans to implement new educational themes in three of its schools by August, thanks to funding from a $9.6 million grant the U.S. Department of Education awarded the district.
The grant, announced last fall and set to kick in this summer, will turn three district schools into magnet schools — ones with specialized courses or curriculums based on a theme — and provide the funding for magnet development over the course of five years.
— For Stratton Elementary, the theme will be fine arts.
— For Garden Hills Elementary: math, engineering and leadership.
— For Franklin Middle School: science, technology, engineering, arts and math.
