What happened

The district’s 2026–27 elementary special education plan calls for opening an additional 8:1:3 classroom section at Brookside School. The presentation lists this as a planned program change, not a completed Board approval.

Why it matters to families

An additional specialized classroom would expand the district’s elementary special education capacity and could affect the placement options available to students whose needs fit the program.

The evidence

The November 4, 2026 presentation’s elementary special education review lists “Opening of additional 8:1:3 section at Brookside School” under where the district is heading for 2026–27. The document is a presentation for a scheduled Board work session, so it supports a plan rather than an adopted decision.
