You have posted that algebra is eliminated under the new standards.  The traditional pathway is eliminated.  [/quote]

You mean algebra as a standalone course listed in a course catalog? Sure. But it seems like they aren't as literal as you - they mean the pathway to cover that content will still exist. Algebra content will still be taught (spiraled w/geometry&alg2) in various course offerings, accelerations, tracks, years, etc.

VDOE now says it's up to the school districts to decide how to implement.

That is eliminating the traditional pathway, if it is not a standalone course.  They can't say they are not eliminating the traditional pathway when they are.
The pathway to cover that content is not the same as the traditional pathway, and I disagree that the pathway to cover the content exists.

VDOE says it's up to the school districts how to implement, within the curriculum they have provided.  For example, you can't have an algebra class, if the students will not have an algebra SOL to be tested on.
