Description

Education/ City of New Haven Magnet Office has not updated the magnet school waiting list for 2 months and is allowing students to apply for transfers to other schools as of July 1st! Students who were placed in the original lottery in April had approximately 2 weeks to accept placement ,which should then have freed up new openings. I have called the Magnet Office repeatedly and checked the online site, only to be told it has not been updated yet. School is now out and it will be difficult to transfer records and place students in the appropriate level classes creating confusion and extra work for everyone starting school in August! What is happening in the Magnet Office? What do they do all month? Allowing transfers with out updating the waiting list first is UNFAIR!!! Garth Harries, Toni Harp and the BOE need to investigate this ASAP...people are getting paid and not doing their Job!
