The Dallas Magnets site launched this week along with a sister Facebook group aimed at bringing news and information for parents seeking the right fit for their student among Dallas Independent School District’s many magnet programs.
The site hopes to make it easier on parents to choose between public Montessori and TAG programs, between Townview’s campus programs including Health or Science and Engineering, or Booker T Washington’s arts programs.
Dallas Magnets Site Details
The Dallas magnets site was launched by the Townview Dallas Magnets Foundation after parents repeatedly complained about not having a single location for information on magnet programs, ISD calendar deadlines, and particular information about schools.
The nonprofit does not anticipate things will be busy with the site initially, but expect a strong push by early August, when parents are seeking back to school information that often is updated after the fact on school websites. They are actively adding schools and information to the site using an all volunteer core of parents and community members.
