The plan centers around 'The Great Eight,' comprising four expansions of current programs and four new initiatives. These include expanding the Baldy View Dual Language Immersion Academy, deepening the Foothill Knolls STEM Academy, extending Career Technical Education pathways to middle school, and creating a 4-8 Arts Magnet Academy through a school merger.

The overarching goal is to meet diverse learner needs, foster academic excellence, and ensure students are well-prepared for college and careers.
