Abstract:
Wake County School Board members are spending more time worrying about eliminating diversity than working on the budget. The new budget will eliminate forty jobs and will not request more funding despite opening four new schools and an increase in enrollment. Spending per student has decreased and will continue to decrease over the next two years. Some believe that the board is trying to make up for the decreases by creating low-income schools and relying on social programs to help fund them.
