A Reminder

I appreciate all that you are doing in the continuing battle against forced year-round school attendance in Wake County! Some of you have received short, non-committal answers from General Assembly members that you have contacted. Please don’t let their responses discourage you! I can assure you, the more they hear about what these conversions will really mean for Wake County, the more involved they will become. They might not publicize their involvement, but you would be surprised at what can take place (and already is taking place) behind the scenes. Legislative action might not be in the picture, but as citizens of Wake County, these members have just as much interest in the future of their community as we do. So please, continue to urge others to contact these individuals. Remember, numbers matter!!

UPDATE:
Correction on the paragraph below. According to Keung Hui on WakeEd, the only two meetings tomorrow are committees: a 9:30 AM Facilities Committee meeting, and a 12:30 PM Policy Committee meeting, neither of which will have a public comment period.

Also, just a reminder about the School Board meeting on Tuesday, August 15: At the 12:00 Committee of the Whole meeting, the topic of discussion is to be mandatory year-round conversions of Middle Schools. If you wish to speak, you can sign up prior to the 2:00 meeting, and express your thoughts for 3 minutes. An overwhelming show of opposition to this proposal would speak volumes.
