BCPS offering open houses, web chats for magnet programs

Broward County Public Schools is offering families a chance to learn more about their magnet schools. During the month of January, the district will hold open houses and live web chats to offer interested students and parents an opportunity to learn more about the available curriculums.

Open Houses will include tours of the facilities and the chance to talk with coordinators and teachers.

Web chats will also provide opportunities for those families who cannot make it to the open houses to speak with magnet coordinators about their schools. Click here to learn more about the web chats.

The last chance to apply to any BCPS magnet school is February 13, 2013. The last chance to apply to a Miami-Dade County magnet program is January 15.

Here is a list of the upcoming open houses and web chats. You can find more information by logging onto the Broward County Public Schools' magnet program website.
