In Cary there was no change at all. They guy who took on Don Frantz wsn't even trying!

In Raleigh Dems only held onto what they had - not even trying to recover the seat lost to moderate John Odom in 2009.

Having neighborhood schools has nothing to do with racial equality beyond extremist circles (including Bob Geary's sensationalist reporting for the Independent Weekly above). Talk to most residents in the county, whether they be from rich, middle-class, or economically challenged neighborhoods, and their kids and parents will tell you that they want to go to school with their friends in their own neighborhood.

Your concern should be that there are underperforming schools in the first place; not that your kids got put in the 'bad one'.

The school board knows that "balanced" schools don't contribute to achievement for all students - they simply make the curve for that school look better. That's why they won't ever conduct a study to show that.

I live in Western Wake County, and consider myself to be middle class. At the age of 7, my son was removed from his nearby neighborhood school, and assigned to a high poverty school inside the beltline -- not a magnet school, just a school that had exceeded the poverty guidleine.
