Meeting today for those interested in Stivers school

DAYTON — Any area sixth-grade student may audition Jan. 29 for entrance to Stivers School for the Arts.

Students who live outside Dayton Public Schools may audition for the six-year program, but out-of-district students pay tuition, said Jenny Palmer, outreach coordinator.

School officials anticipate that about 300 will audition for about 150 spots, which is pretty typical, she said.

“Prep” packets full of information are available at stivers.org or at the Stivers Arts Magnet Office. Call Palmer at (937) 542-7477 for more.

An information session is set for 7 p.m. today at the school, 1313 E. Fifth St. Registration on audition day is 7:30 to 8 a.m.
