Magnet School Project Evaluation First Annual Report, 1975-76.
Cunningham, Claude H.; Williams, Frank P.
The Magnet School Plan as presented to the court and subsequently approved in July, 1975, contained four action areas: (1) reduce the number of schools that are 90 percent or more white or combined black and brown, (2) reduce the number of students attending schools that are 90 percent or more white or combined black and brown, (3) provide free transportation to all students attending magnet schools, and (4) report student enrollment and teacher assignment by ethnic group in each magnet school biannually. These action concerns have been translated into 34 programs operating in 32 schools as either schools-within-schools, add-on programs, cluster centers, or separate and unique schools. This comprehensive report contains evaluation of the degree that each program has met its objectives and of the degree that the total project has met the objectives for integration as approved by the court. The Phase I programs were able to achieve 81.5 percent of their 232 objectives. Four general problems were reported--curriculum development, transportation, recruitment, and purchase of materials.
