Will the school board be willing to keep Broughton High School as an International Baccalaureate magnet school and not reassign students out of the base?

As noted in today's article, that's what is being floated by Broughton parents trying to keep the magnet program. They're saying that it's doable because the demagnetization of Daniels Middle School and the reduction of Broughton's draw area should result in fewer magnet applicants.

The parents are questioning the need to increase the school's magnet percentage to 39 percent of the enrollment.

Broughton High School parents may come to rue the school board's decision to not demagnetize the school.

As noted in today's article, school board members told staff to look at ways to increase the number of magnet students at Broughton. Considering how landlocked the school is, that's going to mean moving some base students out.

That won't sit well with Broughton families who, as the old saying goes, want to have their cake and eat it too.
