Warren County Public Schools will move sixth graders from elementary schools to the district’s middle schools.
The Board of Education voted 3-1 for the change Thursday night. Sixth graders will be joining seventh and eighth graders at the middle schools starting with the 2017-2018 school year.
“I am confident the realignment will increase student learning and opportunities for our students,” Superintendent Rob Clayton said in a news release. “This reorganization will match the curriculum alignment at the state level, and ensure content area specialists are in all of our middle school classrooms across the district.”
This year’s third grade class will be the first group affected by the transition.
WCPS has created a webpage that offers more information about the realignment. Visit the site by clicking here.
