Cutting magnet school programs in Bellaire?
published Jan. 27, 2011
School district officials gathered Tuesday, Jan. 25, at Bellaire High School to obtain feedback on recommendations that HISD cut 55 of its 113 magnet programs and eliminate magnet funding after next year.
Students in Houston ISDs prestigious magnet schools could find themselves shopping for new campuses if district leaders act on a critical audit that suggests eliminating nearly half the programs.
The long-awaited audit, released in early January, proposes that the district cut 55 of its 113 magnet programs, stripping the schools of extra dollars, the coveted label and free busing for students who live outside the neighborhood.
