A series of meetings on the draft student assignment proposal will be held over the next three weeks:
6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Middle Creek High School
6:30 p.m. Thursday at Wakefield High School
6:30 p.m. Sept. 7 at Apex High School
6:30 p.m. Sept. 8 at Southeast Raleigh High School
6:30 p.m. Sept. 13 at Broughton High School
6:30 p.m. Sept. 15 at East Wake High School
Members of the Wake County Public School System's Student Assignment Task Force will share information about the proposal with the community and collect feedback at each meeting. These meetings are similar to the sessions the task force held in June to solicit community feedback. This is not a public forum.
Superintendent Tata and the task force presented the draft proposal to the school board Aug. 16. This followed the community online test drive of an early draft proposal in which more than 21,000 people participated. The proposal has been in the works since February when Tata asked the school board for the responsibility of developing a long-range student assignment proposal that focuses on maximizing achievement for every student while providing families with more stability and choice.
Comments on the proposal will be accepted through Sept. 15 at
