A program to expand and improve magnet schools in the Austin Independent School District (AISD) was funded by the U.S. Department of Education in 1985-1986. Results of the program were: (1) increased and more stable enrollments in magnet elementary schools; (2) large achievement gains in reading, mathematics and science for students in a high school science magnet program; (3) increased enrollment at a magnet desegregated high school; (4) less overcrowding in nonmagnet elementary schools; (5) an increase in the number of students enrolled in honors courses at the magnet high school; and (6) positive student evaluations of the magnet science academy. Program outcomes which caused some concern were: (1) a transfer policy which restricted the acceptance of many students to the magnet foreign language program; (2) the lack of applications from minorities and females in the science program on par with their representation in the district; and (3) the lack of significant progress in developing a science magnet curriculum at the elementary school level. This report provides graphic presentations of statistical data including allocation of the grant and details of per pupil expenditures. (VM)
