Author(s):
Abstract:
The Wake County School board is struggling to create a new student assignment plan. Leaders say the plan should reflect the county’s values, stable assignments for kids, choices for parents, efficient use of schools, and diversity in school populations. An outline of the plan was presented at a recent meeting which included dividing the county into regions and assignment zones from which parents can choose the schools their children will attend. Specific details of the plan and the reaction to it are explored.
