Nystrom Elementary would become part of Rosie the Riveter park in pending bill

Legislation passed by the House of Representatives on Friday includes an amendment that would officially add a historic school site to the Rosie The Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historic Park in Richmond.

The amendment by U.S. Rep. Mark DeSaulnier adding Nystrom Elementary School to the park was included in the HR 803, the Protecting America’s Wilderness and Public Lands Act that passed the U.S. House by a vote of 227-to-200. The bill next goes to the U.S. Senate for consideration.
