The decision to switch to neighborhood schools has been a divisive one in Wake County, and although the school board has already voted to shift to the new model, groups such as “Great Schools In Wake” said they will still plan to have a presence and a voice at the meetings as the board hashes out the specifics of the new policy.
“Give our input and have some influence,” said Yevonne Brannon with the Great Schools in Wake Coalition. “I still hope, think, there’s room for negotiation and still hope there’s room for reconsideration.”
