NEISD said the magnet school’s freshman class is expected to be phased in during the 2021-2022 school year, with additional grade levels added each following year. The district will work with local colleges and universities to create dual credit course offerings in the program. The money came from savings after bond projects were completed under budget and did not come from the district’s operating budget, NEISD said. NEISD said they are also working to develop a curriculum plan to strengthen cybersecurity and programming skills for elementary and middle school students.
