[quote=Anonymous]15:16 - the SB floated that idea. I personally don't think it's a very good one, because I think you would end up with a lot of families who really don't care about the program getting in, and a lot of families who care about the program getting shut out. It makes more sense to limit the lottery pool to those who have expressed actual interest. They've already lowered so many of the barriers to admission, like requiring parents to visit both their home school and the school before they can enter. Being able to remember a registration deadline is a pretty low bar. Any magnet program probably does better if the parents really care about it. (And yes, some parents are fleeing low-performing schools or picking the school closest to their house -some folks on here have argued that those folks shouldn't be in option schools either.)
