In a luncheon presentation today these numbers and statistics were shared by Dr. Ann Denlinger, President of the Wake Education Partnership.  It makes you wonder how wrecked our Wake County Public School System will be before the current regime is voted out.

Consider this:

*If all students are assigned to the closest school to home, 19 schools would be AT OR GREATER than 150% capacity.
*If all students are assigned to the closest school to home, more than 20 schools would be at LESS THAN 50% capacity.
*In fact, Wake Forest Elementary would be at 267% capacity!
*If all students are assigned to the closest school to home, at least 15 schools would have 66% free and reduced lunch students
*If all students are assigned to the closest school to home, 27 schools would have a student body with fewer than 10% free and reduced lunch students.

This is what happens when the populace fails to get out and vote during an election.  This School Board feels empowered to make changes that represent the views of only a minority of the parents of school enrollees, simply because they were elected.  In fact, did you know that 95% of the Wake County parents are currently happy with the schools that their child is in?

We all need to be involved in this debate, not just parents of school aged children.  Make yourself heard loud and clear on this issue before it's too late.
