Jack, no one has been officially informed of anything because the Ministry is 
STILL making changes to the program. (I have been informed that final 
announcements about the new core program will be made within a week or two, but 
we'll see...) The main reason given for this delay is that the steering 
committee has taken teachers' feedback seriously, and is changing the program 
to reflect that feedback (e.g., changing some of the pieces of literature, 
slightly reducing the workload). On the one hand, kol hakavod to them for that 
- I do believe that the program will be much improved as a result. On the other 
hand, I agree with you that it's ridiculous to begin implementing a program 
next year when we don't yet know what the program is. (I would like to plan out 
my year BEFORE I begin the school year, and I'll be on vacation most of 
August...) But as I said, supposedly the official program will be out shortly.
All the best,
Rivka
