Combining the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (MYP), which serves students in grades 7 through 10, into a single site on the Alameda International High School campus. Moving all 11th and 12th graders, including the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (DP), to a separate wing on the Alameda International High School campus.
