School Board votes against changes to student assignment plan
The Seattle School Board adopted a Student Assignment Transition Plan for the 2020-21 school year at their November 6 meeting. The board decided not to make changes to the highly capable cohort model (HCC) at this meeting, but will reconsider HC services at WMS for 2020-21 when a more complete plan is presented to the board regarding The Technology Access Foundation (TAF) coming to WMS. The board said it would make its decisions regarding TAF and HCC before open enrollment begins on February 3, 2020.
