[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you for all the replies! Even the arguments are interesting because it shows all sides of the debate. I guess it makes sense that the idea was to pull in students to a specific area (hence "magnet") vs. having a general G&T program where centralized locations would make more sense.

We are on the north side of RM, so the middle schools in SS aren't even in question. When people say that Crown may be an option when it opens, you mean for high school magnets, right? I haven't heard anything about a Crown middle school but I am far from staying on top of these things.[/quote]

Crown is a new high school scheduled to open in 2026. There is no plan for it to house a magnet, and there is no plan for a middle school.[/quote]

This is why the current magnet system is terribly unpopular.  1 - it caters to only a few, and 2 - because it's now a lottery, it's watered down.  I'd recommend not voting for board incumbents this year and encouraging others to do so as well.  It's the only way things will change.[/quote]
