[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the earlier statement of not wanting to lower the bar. I would support some method that allowed for hand picking 25 Latino/black students who didn't apply to the magnet for entry into the program so long as it was done using academic criteria so that it's clear that the students should be able to succeed in the magnet. Takoma has a neighborhood preference that lets in an additional 25. I know of a black male student who is stellar academically and hasn't been in the magnets. He's the type of kid who should be encouraged vs the gen pop kid who's passions are non-academic and doesn't desire the rigor. I suspect that getting different kids/families to apply means taking a different approach to make them feel welcome. A more personalized approach may be necessary.[/quote]
