Very Interesting!!
Read what Chuck Dulaney (WCPSS Assistant Superintendent for Growth and Planning) had to say to ABC News with regard to mandatory year-round school attendance in Wake County. Take time to access the link and view the entire article from today. Just a sampling (referring to the traditional school calendar): “We're culturally aligned to something that has been going on for a long time,” he [Mr. Dulaney] said. “I don't think it's going on for the right reasons, it's just the way it's been done.”

I was surprised that Chuck Dulany would say something that is clearly not a true statement:
" 'What's new is populating them by assigning neighborhoods to those schools rather than making it purely voluntary,' Dulaney said."
Purely voluntary? What about those currently forced into mandatory year round as base schools? Ask the parents/children in north/northeast Wake Forest if they were given a choice back in 2004 to be assigned to Heritage Elementary Year Round. Nodes 283.4, 283.7, 283.3, 283.6, 283.5.
I'm sure there are other examples across Wake.
It's sad that the assistant superintendent for growth and planning for the district either doesn't know the truth or doesn't tell it like it is really happening.
