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
