[quote=Anonymous]The TPES administration itself no longer calls it a magnet program, since the small amount of extra funding they get from the county goes to things that benefit the whole school/every child. Instead they now refer to TPES as "a magnet school." There is no opportunity for instruction or enrichment available exclusively to the kids identified as "magnet." The homogenous groups (to the extent permitted by Curriculum 2.0) are created based on assessments of all students at the beginning of each year, without regard to whether a child has been identified as magnet. So a magnet kid is not guaranteed placement in the highest level group, nor is a non-magnet kid shut out of being in the highest level group. HTH.[/quote]
