A lawsuit has been filed to stop Alexandria 's Jefferson-Houston PreK-8 International Baccalaureate School from transitioning to a middle school.

Several parents said the decision blind-sided them, and many have spoken against the move in Alexandria City Public Schools board meetings.

Michael O'Brien argued that parents were not given enough notice about the decision and that the school board 'exceeded its authority'.
