[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at the data for the examples provided for Region 4, each school gets about 135 magnet seats filled by students who are not local. That means roughly 520 students per school come from outside the attendance area.

In other words, one-quarter to one-third of all students at each high school are bused in from other parts of the region. That’s a massive amount of “bus in, bus out” activity.  Interestingly the report says it results in only one net bus per year per school?[/quote]

1) do you have a link for the slides or data you are looking at?
2) aren’t the new magnets supposed to be smaller than the current ones?
3). If it is 520 for out of bounds kids there would still be more in the magnet that are inbounds.  Like 600 kids in the magnet.
4) The Blair magnet is smaller at 440 and RMIB is 475, and the idea for those is fewer classes (eg fewer kids).  Those are the largest magnets by far.
5) there are no new resources so how are they supposed to have more magnet spots?  I guess they are trying to utilize the school’s existing resources but this seems a stretch.
