[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So students from Churchill, Whitman and WJ could go to Kenndy if they dont make it at RM next year.  Since the “cohort” method will be used for Blair, RM, and Poolsville magnet program, this new selection method will reduce the number of students from Wooton, Churchill, WJ and Whitman to be admitted into RM and Blair.  Currently, more than 60% of magnet students in RM and Blair magnets are from the four HS catchment area.  The cohort methode could reduce the number of students from the four hs to less than 20% for RM and less than 30% for blair.  Will the students whose access to RM and Blair magnet is denied due to the “cohort” admission method go to the regional IB megnet?  The new centers are further away from RM and blair for these students. [/quote]

None of the announced changes affect Blair/Poolesville magnets.[/quote]

The new regional IB magnets are part of the HS magnet admission overhaul.   Yes, the same “cohort” policy and universal testing will be used for HS magnet admission this year.  [/quote]
