Ruling may ease Wake’s path to income-based school assignments | Education | NewsObserver.com

Federal officials have opened the door for Wake County to reintroduce students’ family income as a basis for school assignments.

U.S. Department of Agriculture attorneys say Wake can use data on students who receive subsidized lunches to balance schools by family income as long as the process doesn’t result in the identification of individual students.

What's the saying? Everything comes full circle.

So academics improve for low-income students under Tata, so the board fires him and goes back to doing what was failing the low-income children in the first place? None of the board members deserve to be there anymore.

Source? I don't see how there could have been any measurable effect on academics in any category after only what? 15 months on the job?

The longer the issue is just looked at.....no one really comments on how we are now managing children based on income. Its not even academics, its money.

I wonder if I moved into a multi million dollar area if I will just start making millions of dollars. Since I dont make millions do I qualify for something to make this happen?

The Wake County Board of Education -- why stupid people should not be allowed to vote.

I'm still pondering how you could use this information for school assignments if you can't identify individual students.

Do you just moved children around randomly until the magic 1:3 ratio is achieved?

The school district has the data - they just can't identify students by name as they develop or publish plans based on the data.
