With the John C. Dunham STEM Partnership School on the Aurora University campus slated to close at the end of the 2021-22 academic year, partnering districts are eyeing expanded STEM opportunities within their own schools.
Updated 5/11/2021 7:40 PM The John C. Dunham STEM Partnership School in Aurora is slated to shut down at the end of next academic year, its governing board decided Tuesday in a devastating blow to parents and students who have been fighting to keep the program alive.
