School Board Vote on Middle School Conversions

Tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2 PM, the Wake County School Board will vote on the mandatory year-round school conversion of up to 5 middle schools. Elementary is bad enough, but a multi-track year-round schedule for middle schools creates a whole new set of serious problems. Please attend if at all possible! I will attend part of the Committee of the Whole meeting at 12:00, but I regret to say that I have a previously scheduled meeting which will prevent me from speaking at the 2:00 time-slot. My other meeting, however, is to discuss this entire forced year-round school issue with a key player in the campaign to push the bond. I will be there in spirit for sure!
