What does Prop 11 mean for:

When will these changes happen?

If either Proposition 11 or Proposition 14 pass (or both) elections for new school boards will happen in 2025. The new school districts will begin to organize and in 2027, they will take over from Alpine School District, in time for the 2027-2028 school year. See Timeline for more information.

Will students be able to continue attending their current school?

For six years following the creation of a school district, parents and students can choose to attend a secondary school outside the new district if you lived in that area prior to the split. And if busing was provided before the split, it will continue to be available.

How will this affect programs?

School districts are required to enter into shared service agreements for up to 5 years to allow students to continue to access special education services (e.g. schools like Dan Peterson and ATEC East). All programs will be subject to the new school board. In general, communities will have a greater say in what programs they want to offer.

Will there be a difference in the variety of classes offered in the high schools?

Schools and school boards would continue to make these decisions, just as they do now. If a program makes sense and provides value, then school boards and administrators would likely keep those programs and classes.

Even as one district, classes come and go based on the needs and resources available.
