Abstract:
How strong is the public's support for its schools? To answer this question, the North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research examined data on enrollment trends, polling data, and local bond votes from 1990-1991 through 2000-2001. The Center concluded that while the public is not completely satisfied with its schools, the support for them remains strong, as evinced by rising enrollment, increased public opinion poll support, and passages of bond issues for school construction.

Abstract:
Since 1983, public schools in North Carolina have experienced ten major reform efforts. These include the 1985 Basic Education Program, the Year-Round School Movement in 1989, the 1996 Charter School Legislation, and the 1996 ABC Plan. Critics say the state tries too many new programs and does not allow any of them enough time for proper evaluation. Williams and Scharer discuss each of the ten programs in detail.
