Application Process
for Magnet Elementary Schools
2008-2009
- CPS no longer will consider a student's
race or gender for enrollment into magnet schools, in response
to a recent U.s. Supreme Court Ruling
- CPS is replacing four magnet quadrants
with two areas- East and West- to simplify the application
process
Interstate 75 will serve roughly as the
East/West dividing line, based on a student's home address
A parent may select from among the magnet
schools in the area assigned to the home address. Transportation
will be provided if it is available and practical
(A parent who selects a magnet school outside
the assigned area must provide transportation to and from the
school.)
CPS' citywide magnet school and all high
schools will continue to draw students from the entire district
New dates have been set
for the 2008-09
