Anyone know what happens to the kids that are already at Traditional schools outside of their base schools? Will they be moved back to their year round base? Doesn't affect us as we're already going to a YR, but I'm curious for my neighbors.
From what it SOUNDED like based on what I've read, (and I could be wrong about this) students who already have an assignment for next year are set. It was those who did not request/apply to a traditional school during the application period back in Feb and whom WCPSS was waiting on sending consent letters to that will likely be affected for 09-10. As for the future, I've only read speculation and even the school board has not released any type of definitive answers yet.
So does this mean all schools will move to the Year Round schedule?
or
Will all students be assigned to a Y-R school unless the parents specifically request a Traditional Calendar school AND space exists in a traditional calendar school to accept them?
This ruling means that WCPSS has the authority to covert schools to YR schedules and assign students to YR school and NOT be required to offer them a different calendar option.
It does not mean that all schools will be converted and it's highly unlikely that they will. Many of the older shcools are not large enough to support the YR multi-track system, but it's possible in the future if they did want to go that direction to convert those smaller schools to single track YR schools.
I'm sorry - what does this have to do with Wake County Public Schools?
the OP was year around school court decision, not wake county issues. my response appears to be on topic per my understanding of TOS, . year around is also being considered here. are you the moderator please identify yourself..

FWIW, I did not understand your earlier post either.
i am encouraging and supporting the 12 month school decision.
do you feel this is a confusing and ambiguous off topic statement.
There is no "12 month school decision." Students attend school for exactly the same number of days under both systems (180 days). It's the schools that are year-round, not the students.

yes understood, but it affords flexibility of opportunity for learning, the school being open more, the window has gotten larger paves the way for other new innovations in learning, a good thing no?

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're trying to say. The school is not "open more" as far as any one student is concerned. For him or her, it is "open" exactly the same number of days under both traditional and year-round calendars. Do kids who get the summer off in a traditional calendar benefit from the fact that other kids are going to summer school during that period?

as far as the one student is concerned certainly not but for the facility to have it doors open paved the way for other new programs that could never occur if the school was closed for seaonsal periods by tradion and policy. 12 month can be a spring board to new innovations.

How so? Can you give us some examples to support your theory?
