Eligibility is based on residency within the magnet volunteer attendance area.
The district makes at least one annual marketing campaign to maintain community awareness. If they move out of the designated area into an ineligible area, they are ineligible for placement in the magnets. If students move out of the designated area into a volunteer area, their application status changes to volunteer. Applicants enrolled in a private school may apply for placement as long as they reside in an eligible zone. Impact upon the sending school is also considered.
