There are no more tents on Clifton Avenue and the week-long campouts to enroll in Cincinnati Public Schools' magnet program are over. In 2015, CPS switched from a first-come, first-served approach, to the new lottery system for filling its magnet school programs. Parents may begin online applications November 13, 2017 for the 2018-19 school year.
The school district is offering a series of public information sessions to answer questions about the lottery and the application process. The final session is tonight at 6 p.m. at the Spencer Center for Gifted & Exceptional Students.
Here to answer your questions about magnet school enrollment and the lottery system are Cincinnati Public Schools Assistant Superintendent William Myles; and Customer Help Center Director Leslie Bryant.
