In a major victory for the Wake County school system, the state Supreme Court has given school officials the authority to assign students to year-round schools without the permission of their parents.

Wow, that is HUGE news for Wake County. I'm not taking sides on the issue, but I guess there is at least some closure in the courts. Now it's up to the voters.

Yep, that's the way I am looking at it too. At least now people know what they can expect and can make decisions on how to move forward from here.
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?

None of the above, I believe. But Wake County does now have more latitude to make schools year-round, so it may increase the number. But I don't think they will offer any flexibility on assignment. You go to the school you are assigned to - year-round or otherwise. There's no longer any opting out.
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.
if they cant read and write in 9 why not try for 12?
however i think its a failed system, voucher the sooner the better.
fyi know what the average welfare case shows here for basic math and reading test, 6th grade and that is with a high school diploma.
I have mixed feelings about this. I did find it a bit unfair that those assigned to YR had the ability to choose as opposed to those assigned to traditional who were only able to attend YR if they were accepted.

I'm sorry - what does this have to do with Wake County Public Schools?
