Board considers feasibility study for a TK-8 gifted academy at A.J. Dorsa
What happened
The September 17 board agenda proposed authorizing a 90-day feasibility study to potentially transform the A.J. Dorsa Elementary School site into a TK-8 Gifted, Talented, Advanced Learning & Innovation Academy. The agenda does not establish that the transformation was approved or will occur.
Why it matters to families
If pursued, the study could lead to a major change in the site’s grade configuration, instructional program, and enrollment model. The current record establishes only that the feasibility study was proposed for board action, not that the school conversion has been decided.
The evidence
The official September 17, 2026 Board Book lists under Superintendent/Board Business: “Approve Resolution No. 11-26/27 Authorizing A 90-Day Feasibility Study for the Potential Transformation of the A.J. Dorsa Elementary School Site Into A TK-8 Gifted, Talented, Advanced Learning & Innovation Academy.”
