This is completely unfair of CCSD to do this. All they are thinking of is money. It's unfair to make everyone go to their zone school. CCSD really doesn't care anymore. I am going to go to the event on Thursday to help save our school and everyone should to. Hyde Park is everything and we can't just let them take it away from us.

if this passes the schools of nevada will be even worse. The only reason they want to do this is to save money but wr should be thinking more about the students, who will later be generating the money.

It's like CCSD doesn't even care for our education. Oh wait, did they even in the first place? If they're doing it just because busing is too expensive, make changes to the busing, not the PROGRAMS.

This policy should not be put into place because it will destroy our education. This policy would change the requirements needed to get into a magnet school. This policy would make it so that all the magnet schools would be of the same level which would mean that there would be noting better about a really high prestigious magnet school over one that isn't. First of all, some of the students who already work hard towards their future, trying to get into Harvard and other Ivy League schools, might not be zoned for a really good magnet school such as clark. Second of all, there are some magnet schools that provide more AP classes than others. Students in my class have already taken 2-4 high school classes (Algebra 1 Honors, Geometry Honors, Biology Honors and Spanish 1), which means that they would take AP classes and they want to take as many as they can. If they zoned for a school that only provides one or two AP classes they wouldn't be able to take the other ones without taking courses at UNLV over the course of that year. Taking courses at UNLV for AP credits would also mean that they would have to pay for them over the AP classes taken at their high school. These are two of the many reasons that this policy shouldn't be put into place.

The point of a magnet school is to help kids who want to learn at a higher level further than the current education level. If the magnet is shut down, then we will be set back 2 years. The final word in the change of schools in the district should be from the students, and all changes should be in the best interest of the students. This is definitely not in the interest of the students. How can someone be expected to do something they did 2 years ago again, and learn nothing?

Fix this please. There would be no in having magnet schools and there would be no point in taking higher level classes if we are capable of doing so. More gifted children would have to take easier courses which is by no means a valuable thing for their minds. Moreover, less gifted children will have to struggle with a higher level class. If we make this change, everything that students will have worked for will make it useless and it will make greatly affect our careers as magnet schools were meant to be subject-specific.

What? Why would you limit education?

We all enrolled in a magnet school for a purpose. Whether that purpose was to have a better education, meet peers, or to be a part of the program of the school itself, we chose it. Putting into effect this mew zoning system would take away that choice. It would also set up future problems for say, a kid that wanted calculus in 12th grade. Would all the schools have a calculus teacher? And would they be a capable teacher of the subject or simply a person giving out worksheets? These magnet changes are not a good decision and must be prevented.

The policy would eliminate the purpose of a magent school and is totally ridiculous.

Each magnet school specialize in different areas and are very different from each other, they can't all be the same and not be unique. It would affect many schools reputations and impact many of our careers!

If magnet schools are changed, then all schools will be the same and we won't be able to go to the schools we wish to go to. This will also impact our careers. We can't let this happen.

Have you all heard about the school policy that makes it so that you can only go to schools you are zoned for, and all schools will teach the same curriculum? It is a school policy that I think is unfair, and so do many others. I think that to combat this, we should organize a student strike. In this strike, we all decide on a set of dates in which all of us decide to not go to school. By doing this, we are cutting off the money that the government gives to the school district, since the money is based on how many students arrive at school. If we don't show up, then they will not get any money from the government. Because of this, they will have no choice but to repeal this policy. I hope you all understand the urgency of this situation and why it calls for such drastic measures. Please reply if you support this idea. Also, please tell others about this idea. The more support we get, the more of an impact this will have. Tell this to people who don't go to your school, since it will still affect the school district.
