Our Voice: Finley’s STEM grant effort could use another boost
Students at River View High School could soon see a big improvement in their science education.
The Finley school is a finalist for a $3 million grant that would be used to expand and upgrade science classrooms. They start teaching STEM in grade school but can’t continue the program to the level they would like in high school because of limited resources.
School officials should know in mid-April whether the district will get the grant, and if they do they should have another month to get the $100,000 match.
The way the Finley community has rallied around its schools, we feel confident that with some effort the district can get the necessary local funding commitment.
