Recommendation on program study and boundary study targeted for December 2025, board approval by Feb 2026 and implementation for the 2026-2027 school year  (ex applications for the new high school programs) if I understood correctly.  [/quote]

Gotcha.  So sounds like the actual changes to programs would then start in the 2027-2028 school year at the earliest?  [/quote]

That’s my understanding-changes will apply for rising 7th graders. [/quote]

So rising 8th graders apply for the existing programs and get to stay in them through the end of high school? I assume they won’t just get kicked out mid way through high school when everything changes? [/quote]

My guess is that for any programs that are changing to regional programs and staying at the same school (as I assume will be the case for most of the most well-regarded programs), already-enrolled kids from elsewhere in the county will be able to stay but the incoming classes after the change will have to follow the new geographic eligibility restrictions.  That's both reasonable and pretty logistically straightforward, I think.

The bigger question is if they decide to move or end any programs, what will they do with already-enrolled students? That's much more complicated (especially if the program is moving and they want some of the staff to move too)-- I imagine they will try to minimize that but they probably can't avoid it entirely.
