The speakers at Monday's student assignment public hearing were largely unhappy with the Wake County school board.

As noted in today's article, several of the speakers, a crowd made up mostly of western Wake residents, complained about the choice plan being dropped. They weren't happy that choice plan's feeders aren't being guaranteed and that the calendar options are changing for some families.

"How can you not honor the promise made by the board before you?" said Apex parent Erika Phillips about not guaranteeing the choice plan feeders.
