[quote=Anonymous][quote]Regardless...any kind of magnet brings kids from one are to another. If you move the magnet to a Bethesda school (the one that has room for about 400 extra kids) then you will be pulling kids from other areas there.[/quote] Exactly, take Poolesville as another example. Poolesville is not located in an area with high density low income housing like Blair. Its mostly farms, SFH, some townhomes and a few mobile homes. If Poolesville had an identified carrier and did not have a magnet then there would be a lower risk to areas in Rockville, Darnestown and Gaithersburg. With the magnet though all those areas come into play. Blair is a little worse than Poolesville in that it is already a hot spot due to the high density low income housing. The outbreak is likely to be higher if a magnet is infected because they would pass it on not only to magnet kids but the local population that lives in high density housing. [/quote]
