The Wake County school board has now reduced its public meetings to once per month, cutting in half the amount of time citizens have to publicly address its members. It also abolished its Student Achievement Committee, its Finance Committee, its Human Resources Committee, its Facilities Committee and its Policy Committee.
Committee meetings provide a time and place for in-depth analysis, detailed discussion and thoughtful reflection without the pressure of working through a long agenda. But the committee assigned the task of designing a new assignment model still remains.
The members of the school board majority hereby make clear that their priority is not student achievement or running a school district; their priority is reassigning students to carry out their ideological agenda. Once again, actions speak louder than words.
