…this important announcement from the StopMandatoryYearRound grassroots group!

"StopMandatoryYearRound has organized a protest picket to oppose the WCPSS efforts to substantially increase and impose Mandatory Multi-track Year-Round.
This event takes place Tuesday, October 3rd from 11-1 at the WCPSS building, 3600 Wake Forest Rd.

StopMandatoryYearRound enthusiastically supports SOS Wake's efforts to oppose MYR, especially in regards to your online petition.

Many community members and groups are creating signs to carry at the event.

We welcome and encourage petition participants to join with us. Your voice needs to be heard, your face needs to be seen, and your vote needs to be considered.

The WCPSS current direction to install an enrollment policy that would take our district to where a majority of students are assigned to Mandatory Multi-track Year-Round schools.

As alternative solutions have not been exhausted, we find this direction is unacceptable, especially as it will cause sever hardship to families, communities and organizations.

The current directive to convert 22 schools to MYR for `07-08 should be halted.
Alternative solutions at traditional calendar campuses should first be exhausted.
Volunteer YR should be expanded, and all feasible applications should be accepted, not denied.
The right bond with sufficient funding of schools and without MYR should be presented for endorsement.

It’s now or never. Join with others on Tuesday, October 3rd and let your collective voices ring out: MYR is wrong for our families and community.
