Despite concerns, Wake school board to vote on assignment plan
Wake County’s school board is expected to vote Tuesday on a new student assignment plan, even though there are calls within the community to wait.
The plan, which is based on four key elements – proximity, choice, stability and student achievement – replaces the district’s longstanding practice of busing students for socio-economic diversity and aims at giving parents choices for their children’s education while keeping students closer to their homes.
