WHAT TO DO - FOR NOW

As the deadline draws near for the "official" reassignment plan to be revealed (Tuesday, Jan. 9), the question on everyone's mind is, "What can we do?" Well, for starters, contact the County Commissioners (link on the side) - yes, again - and specifically ask them to refuse the request by the Wake County Board of Education for an advancement on several million dollars of the bond money - some of which is slated for use in converting schools to mandatory year-round. We need all the time we can get to still try and prove why such a plan is detrimental to our county and to our state. Please also note that the County Commissioners have a meeting this-coming Monday, January 8. If there is any way that you can be there, please come. At the last meeting, the room was packed, and it really made an impression. They are hearing from parents at a few individual schools, but need to know that this is a county-wide (and not just parent) problem! Thanks to everyone for not giving up!
