Configuration redesign

In 2003, a plan to redesign the grade-level configuration was approved by the Board of Education. It changed the district from one of elementary schools (preK-5), middle schools (6-8) and high schools (9-12) to one of elementary schools (pre-K-6) and secondary schools (7-12). The plan was implemented in stages over four years.
