TURNER,ART-SCHOENBERG. (CLAYBORNE) New Act Creates the East St. Louis Teacher's Academy for Math, Science, and Technology Act. Establishes the East St. Louis Teacher's Academy for Math, Science, and Technology. Provides that the Academy shall be a State agency, funded by State appropriations, private contributions, and endowments.
