General Information

The Magnet School Assistance Program
Thomas Edison Advanced Technology Magnet School is made possible through a grant by the Magnet School Assistance Program of the U.S. Department of Education.  According to the Department of Education's website, "These grants assist in the desegregation of public schools by supporting the elimination, reduction, and prevention of minority group isolation in elementary and secondary schools with substantial numbers of minority group students. In order to meet the statutory purposes of the program, projects also must support the development and implementation of magnet schools that assist in the achievement of systemic reforms and provide all students with the opportunity to meet challenging academic content and student academic achievement standards. Projects support the development and design of innovative education methods and practices that promote diversity and increase choices in public education programs. The program supports capacity development–the ability of a school to help all its students meet more challenging standards–through professional development and other activities that will enable the continued operation of the magnet schools at a high performance level after funding ends. Finally, the program supports the implementation of courses of instruction in magnet schools that strengthen students’ knowledge of academic subjects and their grasp of tangible and marketable vocational skills."

Additional information is available from the Magnet Office at (818) 241-3111 x457 or on the GUSD website at www.gusdelementarymagnet.org/index.html.  Contact Sherry Kully at Edison Elementary for specific information about Edison School at skully@gusd.net
