Including a single mom with no reliable childcare who relies on year round to reduce costs of childcare (she takes 1 wk off per track out but can't take 4 wks at once in the summer). She went to a hearing about it and they basically laughed at her, ultimately offering some other year round option that was 30 mins out of the way and refusing to provide transportation. Given that she works 60 hrs/wk that wasn't doable which she explained to them. Moral of the story: Wake Co will do what it wants to do, unfortunately.

Wake Co has to do what they think is best for the county as a whole. You can't even attempt to please 1M+ individual people. It's one of the downfalls of this area, but speaking as someone without kids yet in the school system, it seems like they do a pretty solid job given what they have to deal with.
