Converting and unconverting schools

She obviously does not represent the people in her district. We have more than enough evidence to prove that fact. Seriously, is there a way to kick her out of office before her term is due?

for your succinct thoughts on the TCE predicament. I'd like to think we would all get automatically transferred back. BOE owes us that at least.

What is the YR option to be given to Baucom families who want to stay YR? I had thought Turner Creek was pretty full this year?

Thanks for the info Keung. Did Ron ask for any other schools to be converted back? Has Lori Millberg asked for Knightdale yet? I thought that one was on the table, too.

 Also, was there any word on how converting Baucom back to traditional will affect the feeder pattern into middle school? Many of the Apex neighborhoods were reassigned to Lufkin Middle (year round) as their base when the MYR conversions went through. Lufkin used to be a VYR school. Now, with Baucom being converted to traditional, many people will have split schedules unless they're able to get a traditional middle school seat at Apex Middle, which is pretty full.

Any mention of the former VYR Turner Creek kids who got sent "back to base" to Baucom and will now be converted to traditional? There were about 100 of them.  The Turner Creek Parents United group warned the BOE and Dulaney of this scenario 2 years ago and suggested expanding VYR at Turner Creek rather than converting all of the Apex schools. By adding a pod at Turner Creek (which is now there to house additional f&r students), there would've been enough capacity to expand VYR and keep all of the Apex schools traditional. Unfortunately, the BOE didn't listen (except Ron), and now we're stuck with the mess we have today with converting, unconverting, messed up feeder patterns, and split schedules.   I'm not against having Baucom go back to traditional - I just wish it had never been converted to year round to begin with.  It would've saved alot of trouble for alot of people.

Keung, Who brought up Salem Elem. as a possible school to switch? It's one of the fullest out of the converted schools in Apex and it feeds into Salem Middle, which is also year round. I guess I don't understand why this school was mentioned.

How did Green Hope get on the list.  That is in one of the fastest growing areas of Wake County.   It has that cheap odor of local politics all over it.  Maybe a little "payoff" to Cary Town Council for now ignoring all the school problems they were elected to fix? 

Yes Harold, we will never forgive nor forget, how you sold Cary/Western Wake out to Rosa "the Hood."   Just watch the video below and cross out the word "Britney" and exchange with "WCPSS," because that was pretty much the way Mayor Harold was when he sold us out that cold, dark night:

It is perfectly ok to bash someone when it is self-inflected.

I can't imagine why it would be a surprise to anyone they're thinking about converting LRMS to year round.  I've said for the last year that it would surprise me if they didn't change the middle school.  I believe it's partly out of spite (IMHO, there are some parents who have just been too outright and in their faces about MYO) and partly because they don't want the massive reassignment that may be needed without changing the school.  Either way, it's going to create more adversity and chaos in the area.
