[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is a magnet school by definition one that kids would have to test into? And be really good at STEM in order to go? I do not support that. There are already so many opportunities for those kids. If your child is truly above and beyond and needs a challenge that even the best regular high schools can't offer, take DE classes or go to TJ.

If they want to make the Western school some sort of choice school I don't think it should yet again cater to the smartest kids. What about something based on interests? [/quote]

Could have an arts/humanities centric school.

NYC has 6 different ones and some of them are arts/language centered rather than just technology.

I thought in last Saturday’s meeting, Reid said they obtained a grant from the FAA, I might have misheard though. I’d imagine that coupled with their constant highlights of KAA’s robotics facilities means the board would want it to be stem focused. Your idea would be awesome though if I’m wrong! [/quote]
