[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering if all the Takoma Magnet kids will still be able to apply for spots in the Blair Magnet regardless of home school.  That will give Blair a huge bump compared to other regional programs.[/quote]

The incoming 9th grade class is the last group of areawide student catchment for the Blair magnet. After this yer, only students in the new Region 1 will be eligible to apply for the Blair magnet.

Besides the fact that it is the 2026-27 9th graders that will be the last with the current boundaries, there has not been anything announced about whether any students will be allowed to continue to a high school based on attending a sending middle school even if their home address is not in the region.  I suspect you are right that it will not be allowed, but that has not been officially determined yet. [/quote]

That’s putting the cart before the horse. The future of the MS magnets hasn’t yet been announced, but the most consistent solutions would be one Humanities and one STEM magnet MS per region, or no magnet MSs and increased options within every MS.  [/quote]

The middle school magnets will follow the lead of the high d=school magnets[/quote]
