What is currently known about the show is that Governor Morris gets into hot water for closing too many low-income schools & plans to send affected students to high performing schools, including his alma mater, Bayside High. The new influx of students will give privileged Bayside kids a "hilarious dose of reality".
The show's original executive producer Peter Engel is on board, as well.
