Abstract:
Crowell discusses ten things a school board needs to know about redistricting their school unit, including knowing that while the board is responsible for redistricting, the North Carolina General Statutes say nothing about the procedure and the U.S. Attorney General must approve their plan if their county is one of forty in the state covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.

Abstract:
Senate Bill 325 proposes redistricting for Wake County school districts.

Abstract:
A nine-month review of Wake County Board of Education’s decision to adopt an anti-diversity position is detailed. 94 percent of parents surveyed said that they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their child’s current school placement, but the board voted to change the school assignment plans anyway. The final plan will not be in place until after the 2011-2012 school year and details of the plan are not available. Public comments on the measure have been limited and the board is struggling to find a superintendent.
