Cedar Rapids magnet school lottery application deadline ends Feb. 21, district podcast reminds families
Summary
The Cedar Rapids Community School District podcast warned parents Feb. 21 that the magnet school lottery application window closes that day and directed families to the district website for submission instructions.
The Cedar Rapids Community School District reminded families Friday that the deadline to apply for the district's magnet school lottery is Feb. 21. The district's podcast hosts said the deadline is the final day to submit applications for STEM, arts and language-focused magnet programs.
The notice comes from the district's regular newsletter podcast, Future Ready Today, which directed listeners to the district website for the online application under the magnet schools tab. "As we are recording this, it is Friday, February 21. Today is the absolute final day to be able to apply for magnet school lottery," host Joe said on the episode.
The podcast described magnet programs as "specialized learning experiences" and encouraged families to apply even if they were undecided. It did not provide details about program capacity, selection criteria, or where the lottery results will be posted; parents were directed to the district web pages for additional instructions.
The announcement was informational; no changes to application deadlines or procedures were made on the episode.
Families seeking the application were directed to crschools.us and to look under the magnet schools tab for the lottery application.
