Magnet school letters go home

There was joy and hand-wringing in LAUSD-land in recent days, as families learned whether or not their children had gotten a spot in the magnet school of their choice.

For those who were disappointed, the next stop often is trying to secure a seat through open enrollment. Next Monday is the starting date to apply for open enrollment transfers for the 2008-09 school year. By that date, schools should have lists available showing which schools have open seats and how many. You can also find out here.

The deadline for applications is June 2.
