Pasco County Schools will host a community meeting on the new Sanders Memorial STEAM Magnet Elementary School Sept. 23 at 6 p.m., in the Land O’ Lakes High School gymnasium, 20325 Gator Lane in Land O’ Lakes.
STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Scheduled to attend are school superintendent Kurt Browning, members of the school board, architects from Williamson Dacar Associates, and contractors from Ajax Building Corp. All are expected to share preliminary information with parents about the school, as well as the timelines and requirements for hiring the principal, teachers and staff members. There also will be discussion about magnet school application timelines, and options for transportation.
Sanders has been closed since 2010, and reconstruction began last month on the new school buildings at 5126 School Road in Land O’ Lakes. They will include what the district describes as state-of-the-art architecture and furnishings, labs, collaboration areas, traditional classrooms, and outdoor classrooms.
Sanders will be the district’s first magnet school, and will not have an attendance boundary.
