The number of seats available for each magnet program will be identified before the application process begins.

Seats will be awarded based on the following formula:

• 30 percent of the seats awarded districtwide by rank-ordering of applicants based on overall criteria score
• 70 percent of the seats awarded within elementary learning community's geographic areas (adjusted proportionally for student population) by rank-ordering of applicants based on overall criteria score

Qualified applicants who are not selected due to limited space will be placed on a rank-ordered waiting list. Applications will remain active until the beginning of the second six weeks of the fall semester and student vacancies will be filled until that time.
