The new stem school now called The Innovation Academy of Northeast Tennessee is progressing on schedule. The academy is an experimental school that will focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The two-year project is funded through a 1.5-million dollar federal grant and is a joint effort between Sullivan County Schools and Kingsport City Schools. Academy project manager Brenda Barnicki says that 5pm Wednesday at the Eastman employee center they will fill the 160 enrollment slots with a public lottery drawing from those who registered by the June first deadline. Eastman is one of the key corporate sponsors. (bg)
