chapel hill carrboro schools: School Redistricting and Walk Zones - Chapel Hill-Carrboro, Durham & Wake County, NC - 01/28/09 06:48 PM
In some school districts there is essentially "sacred ground" when it comes to redistricting. I am referring to Walk Zones. In Chapel Hill - Carrboro, a walk zone is considered any property within 1.5 miles of a school. This 1.5 miles must incude a sidewalk.

chapel hill carrboro schools: Plans for the new Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Elementary School #11 Moving Ahead - 01/24/09 08:21 AM
Despite the economic recession, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School system is continuing to move forward with the plans for the 11th elementary school. The new elementary school is proposed to be built in the Northside neighborhood between Caldwell and McMasters streets (this is very close to downtown Chapel Hill). The first step in the development process, the concept plans, were submitted to the Town of Chapel Hill in December. School Board Chairwoman Lisa Stuckey cautiously acknowledged that plans could change. The school is tentatively scheduled to open in the August of 2011. I will continue to discuss the progress on the development of this school.

chapel hill carrboro schools: Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools Release 2008 Reading Results - 01/24/09 08:12 AM
Chapel Hill-Carrboro School students continue to outperform their counterparts across North Carolina in reading, despite a drop in reading test performance as a result of significant changes made this year in the tests given to students grades 3-8. These changes include setting higher standards for attaining proficiency. These changes resulted in 78.5 percent of CHCCS students posting proficiency in reading compared to 93.4 percent in 2008. The drop in scores in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro district is approximately ½ of the decline that has been seen statewide. Raising standards is of course a good thing, but it will take a year or two
