Our district is is in the early stages of planning a technology magnet
school for grades 6 through 9 which would be opening in the fall of 1996.
We are looking for models of such schools around the country that we might
visit or at least contact for ideas on what works and what doesn't.  Do you
know of any such schools?  We are looking for schools that are different  -
schools in which technology is fully integrated as a learning tool in all
subject areas and has made possible some significant changes in the
structure, the curriculum, and the teaching/learning modes.  This school
would have an inclusive student population, but we are also interested in
looking at schools which may focus on the at-risk student and/or the gifted
and talented.
We are also interested at this time in how students and teachers were
selected for the school if it is a new school.  What selection criteria did
you use for students and for teachers?  What was the process by which
selection was made.
