Fire Lake, Lake Otis, and Campbell STEM elementary schools are affected, leaving students and parents to grapple with the news. The closure, set to take effect at the end of the school year, has left students heartbroken and parents, like one mom from Campbell, feeling the move was too rushed without sufficient thought. Campbell, the states only STEM-focused school, stands out as it had big remodel plans already underway, which the program was set to fund for everyones use.
