Board takes final step to drop diversity in assigning students
After several last-ditch efforts to keep diversity a factor in deciding how to assign students to Wake County schools, the Board of Education voted Tuesday to adopt a controversial policy that moves away from the district’s longstanding practice of busing.
A crowd of opponents jeered, shouting “Hey, hey. Ho ho. Resegregation has got to go,” following the 5-4 vote that means the district will place students in schools based on where they live rather than socioeconomic status.
