District and campus leaders in Scottsdale say the change reflects months of planning and input from families, faculty, and students.
"We've put a lot of work into getting this right, and people are already noticing the difference," said Daniel Nguyen, superintendent in Scottsdale.
The plan affects roughly 2555 students this year, with additional phases expected over the next 2 to 3 school years. Officials say funding is already in place for the first phase.
"This is exactly the kind of progress our community deserves." — Daniel Nguyen
Families can find updates and opportunities to comment through the district's official channels in the weeks ahead.
