  Dr. Ken Branch, WCPSS Magnet Programs Senior Director, talked with the board about a three-year phase out for magnet programs at Lincoln Heights, Olds and Root elementary schools.In the phase out plan, all schools would retain magnet staffing and additional resources for 2007-08.Magnet staffing and resources would be reduced during 2008-09 and 2009-10 and would not be provided in 2010-11.
  
  Branch made recommendations on the status of students at the schools.He said students who have been accepted through the magnet selection progress may choose to remain at the school and to maintain their magnet status.By maintaining their magnet status, they will receive some priority when applying to the next level of magnet school.Siblings of existing magnet students who are listed on an intent form will be allowed to enter the school with magnet status.It is the school system's standard procedure to send intent forms home with magnet students in kindergarten through fourth grade.Magnet students, application and siblings, will continue to receive transportation (if it is currently provided) until the end of the program phase out in 2009-10.
  
  Branch said the parents of current magnet students at Lincoln Heights, Olds and Root would have the option to apply to a different magnet elementary school for the 2008-09 school year.As with any application, the parents would be required to choose from the list of magnet programs available to them based on their home address.The magnet application for the students would be given a priority in the selection process.
  
  Branch said he had discussed these staff recommendations with educators and parents in meetings June 5 at Olds Elementary and June 18 at Lincoln Heights Elementary.Branch said parents generally were appreciative of the options the phase-out plan provided families.
