Sounds like a scheduling problem. Rather than encountering a logistics problem with a retrofit schedule... possibly the requirement for appropriate class placement for these accelerated pupils could be proactively build into the model. It sounds like the needs for appropriate placement are known proactively, so there is scant reason for the school or district not building these requirements into the schedule proactively, rather than considering it an ad-hoc program of pulling kids from classes if it happens to work with the schedule.
