The Changing Nature of Our Magnet Schools.

Clinchy, Evans

New Schools, New Communities, v11 n2 p47-50 Win 1995

Magnet schools were created as a result of the failure of mandatory desegregation plans, but the magnet schools concept has spawned the ideas of controlled parent choice of schools and the chartering of public education. Implementation of the Goals 2000 Act could jeopardize trends magnet schools have set in motion. (SLD)
