Citizens Asked for Feedback Following Bond Referendum

RALEIGH – Wake County citizens are invited to offer feedback about the results of the Nov. 7 school bond referendum starting at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 8, at www.WakeEdPartnership.org.

Wake Education Partnership, an independent local education fund committed to world-class public schools in Wake County, wants input from citizens across the county about how they voted on the bond and what our community needs to do for the future of our schools after the election.

Responses to the survey are anonymous and will be shared with school and county leaders to help them better understand the referendum results.

Questions in the short online survey include:

• What does our community – including the school system and county government – need to do following the bond vote to address the concerns of those who opposed the bond?

• As Wake County moves forward following the Nov. 7 school bond referendum, what does our community need to do to meet the demand for school facilities to accommodate future growth in Wake County?

The survey will be available online through Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2006.

Wake Education Partnership is an independent local education fund that mobilizes resources, leverages relationships and convenes the community to ensure that Wake County prepares our students for lifelong learning in a competitive global economy. Since 1983, the Partnership has worked together with the business and civic community to build public responsibility for world-class schools in Wake County. Programs for 2006-07 focus on retaining effective teachers, developing effective education leaders, and ensuring healthy schools for all students. For more information, please visit www.WakeEdPartnership.org.
