For those of you who want to know about our school system, Wake County Public Schools, (WCPSS). I just saw this on WRAL TV, one of our local TV stations.
Live broadcast 3pm Tuesday (tomorrow) on
www.wral.com the school board meeting. Area parents will attend the meeting and so hopefully you get to hear some of the concerns we are faced with here.
A primer - the new majority board would like to take us from school assignments based on economic diversity to neighborhood schools and possibly eliminate mandatory year round schools. Currently we have some traditional calendar schools that were converted to YR, and we have of course, traditional, and year round that are both neighborhood for some families and by application for others.
Many parents have been calling for this change for some time. It is a hot issue; many parents on the other side of the issue are concerned that the changes will cause schools to re-segregate by default.
I think you'll find the mtg an eye-opener!
