ANDERSON — An Anderson School District 5 school is among three competing to be the state’s first Inside-Out Center for Learning.
The school named will develop initiatives that transform teaching and learning for the future, according to a statement.
Nevitt Forest Elementary in District 5, Forts Pond Elementary in Lexington District 1, and Fairfield Magnet School for Science and Mathematics are the three competing schools. The choice will be named in late November and open in August, according to the statement.
“The goal of South Carolina’s Inside-Out Center is to be a model for the state and nation on cost-effective educational services,” said Joanne Avery, deputy superintendent for Anderson School District 4 and co-chair of the South Carolina National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future Coalition, in a statement.
The underlying goal “is to improve student achievement, teacher quality, recruitment and retention, and community/parental participation and satisfaction,” she said.
