The short answer is yes. However high schools that want to do FTC can still do it on their own, but they will have to compete outside of Michigan or in non FiM sanctioned events. They can also decide to do other robotics programs. FIRST is not the only one available.

Up until and including this year, FiM age cut offs have been guidelines. Next year they become rules for competing in Michigan, which they are announcing a year in advance. This year, teams are free to compete within either FiM guidelines or traditional FIRST age guidelines (though it is not recommended).
