LAUSD magnet applications available

Parents interested in enrolling their children in Los Angeles Unified School District magnet schools for next year and getting bus transportation to classes could begin applying Thursday.

The district has more than 160 magnet schools and centers with specialties ranging from math and science and technology to the performing arts and music.

Magnet schools and the accompanying transportation program have been a key component of the district’s voluntary integration efforts.

Complete information is available in the 2008-09 CHOICES brochure sent to all LAUSD students’ parents.
The application period closes Jan. 11.
