Abstract:
The state has partially funded the school voucher program in NC to allow students and parents to choose the schools that are best for them. School vouchers provide $4,200 for low-income students to use to attend private schools they could not afford without the voucher. Opponents argue that this unconstitutional and takes money from public schools. A judge has halted the voucher program and the legality of the program will be decided in the courts.

Abstract:
The injunction that halted the voucher program has been overturned by the NC Supreme Court. Now, the General Assembly is moving to add $8 to $10 million to the voucher program. The vouchers provide opportunities for low-income students to attend private or religious schools of their choice. Groups opposing using public funds for private education will appeal, but it is likely to be upheld as constitutional.

Abstract:
The constitutionality of \"school choice\" is a hotly debated topic amongst politicians and citizens. Republicans are advocating a school voucher system which would take $50 million of state tax revenue away from public schools and reallocate to private education. Incorporating the voucher idea into the state budget may fall short because opponents contend that such a system would allow tax dollars to go to religious institutions.

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.
