NORTH SALT LAKE, Utah — Spectrum Academy broke ground on a new facility Wednesday that will be specially designed for students participating in the Functional Skills track.
There are currently 500 students on the waitlist for their North Salt Lake campus, located at 552 N. Cutler Drive.
The new facility allows STARS to increase its offering for students with special needs from 80 to 170 students from kindergarten through age 22.
“Spectrum Academy is the only school in the state and by far the largest charter school in the nation that specializes in working with kids on the autism spectrum,” said Brad Nelson, director of finance and school development at Spectrum Academy. “This new facility will have different sensory areas, a larger occupational therapy room, things like that that are more for intense needs.”…
This will be Spectrum Academy’s eighth facility across two campuses in the state.
The facility will open in the fall of 2023. Students will be picked through a lottery system.
