As part of our updated Enrollment Policy due to be approved by DESE in November, we must also submit the “rollout plan” for our additional seats at the Frederick Douglass Campus.

This item is for Board discussion in September and possible approval in October.

Alma leadership is proposing a change in how these seats are allocated across grade levels in the coming years. While this will not impact our overall seat allocation for each year (as approved by DESE last February) it would impact the number of students in our middle school vs. elementary program at the Douglass.
