Excerpt from Elementary and Middle Magnet Schools: A Guide for Parents and Students, 1979-80
Through the input of people connected with Boston's magnet schools we have found that many innovative and exciting programs exist. We have also found, however, that at some schools there are problems with inadequate facilities.
We have included quotes from parents, teachers, students and administrators which convey their Views on both the strengths and weaknesses of their schools. Editorial comments are provided based on the interviewers' observations.
We are especially grateful to the parents and students who gave us their time and provided us with their impressions of the schools. It has not been our intention to evaluate these impressions of the schools from the information we gathered. Our intent has been to design a guide book that would provide parents and students with options and descriptions of programs that are available as they make decisions for the 1979 - 1980 school year. Prior to any decision, we urge that you visit the school and examine the educational program and atmosphere. Only then will you, as parents and students, know that you have found the environment which best meets your needs and priorities.
Guidelines developed by the State Department of Education mandate the involvement of parents and teachers in the planning and approval of proposals developed for funding under Chapter 636. Two categories of programs funded under this law are those developed through the court mandated university - school pairings and cultural collaborative efforts.
We identify universities and cultural institutions within the City of Boston, which work together with a particular school to create and put to use educational, business and cultural programs for students within the school. The unique educational and cultural services which are provided by these pairings complement the magnet theme, which in itself is what influences the educational program of the particular school.
The findings of the interviewers may or may not be supported by school authorities.
