Does anyone know if they are going to open Rolesville High School up to all grades or just to 9th and 10th grades, and add a new grade each year.

"We HAD neighborhood schools before the Republica regime hit a few years ago. As a 56-year-old (16-year) WCPSS, I for the 100th time will talk about how my children (22 and 16) have always been assigned according to their addresses." - lindaburton2004

Wake County NEVER had neighborhood based school assignment. We had a failed Diversity Assignment policy for over 30 years that provided no educational benefit.

I lived in Wake over 30 years. In the western side of Wake County my three children were forced to go to a new school nearly EVERY SINGLE Year from K-12 as our 'node' was switched to a different school. This was done (as stated by the school board) to meet diversity objectives and was not due to growth.

The Democratic school board is doing their best to march as quickly as possible back to this disaster.

Are a list of Private Schools on Angie's List? Hmmmmmmmm.....

"The 2013-14 plan, the third in as many years,"

You'll add 4th to that for 2014-15 and that will be the year the parents really go ballistic. As for the new arrivals in the areas where the schools are being capped, you better research where you (really) would attend and even when they tell you don't trust them. This is a nightmare and is going to become a horrific one before it's over. You still can't truly pin down a school to an address and that will never happen. This current school board is simply going to prove they are the dumbest board yet.

"Oh, and they want to reinstate the teacher play days on Wednesdays too"- imamaanerd

Yea- and we get summers off too. Don't forget that. Pure ignorance!

"This school board is a joke. Keep kids in their neighborhoods, reguardless of color or income. -chatheel"

Ok, one assumes you are a conservative with your crass comment but you can only point fingers to anti-education, anti-government Republicans, nationally and locally, who won't fund new schools. Remember they want to "drown government in a bathtub" and that includes your public school system. So all the whining by conservatives is rich considering this mess is 90% their fault and 10% the fault of Democrats who should have been smarter with their previous assignment based on income scheme.

Wow, SNL could not write a skit this funny. Thank You for the months/years of entertainment WCPSS. Keep it up , I enjoy the laughs.

Grand Union both of mine went to Durham schools both got higher education, good jobs, my son is now going back to school at night to futher his education. We never had to deal with all the mess that Wake parents and students are dealing with. I know a lot of families who had children in Wake school system but that was before all the reassignment and they did well I can not say those being moved around in the system now will do as well

This school board is a joke. Keep kids in their neighborhoods, reguardless of color or income.

The radical majority that is in control now wanted to make sure the previous board didn't have a chance in succeeding with their plan. If they had let them try their plan and it worked then these radicals wouldn't be able to change the plan. When you have some board members yanking the microphone out of another board members hand, then this board are implying it will be our way or no way. It's no longer about the children. It's about a radical agenda. We really need to make an attempt to get SE off the board.
