Riverside campus may be used differently
BARTOW – A virtually abandoned elementary school in Fort Meade may have a new lease on life if the Polk County School Board okays a plan from one of the county’s charter schools to add a campus there.
Gause Riverside Elementary School at 1002 NE 6th Street in Fort Meade is now just being used for adult classes for those learning English as a second language, may wind up being a high school too, if the school board okays a request from New Beginnings High School, a charter school home based in Winter Haven.
