They don’t seem to be dropping pre-AP programs, just changing how those classes impact the gpa/class rank.
When you argue this with the powers that be, make sure that people understand that class rank doesn’t just impact state school admissions. (I wish Texas had a uniform re-calculation like California does.) Class rank trumps GPA for most out of state schools becuase they have now idea what a certain GPA means from your school. If no preference for taking the harder classes, why wouldn’t kids take regular soph and jr year classes and then pile into AP’s later?
