More to come, but here's a quick recap of today's Wake County school board policy committee meeting.
The committee didn't act on staff's recommendation to recommend changes in the capping policy, principally including wording authorizing the superintendent to place partial caps at schools. Board members said they will approve it at some point but want to flesh out the capping issue more in the assignment plan discussion before approving policy changes.
Board member Susan Evans floated the idea of limiting how long board members can debate issues, citing how long meetings have gotten. Other board members weren't willing to go that far and that idea wasn't incorporated into the proposed revisions of the rules of order policy that will go to the full board.
The committee also agreed to send to the full board the revised duties of board officers policy.

They learned from the best

They've certainly proven they can't think or stand on their own.
Fear not Wake County parents, this board doesn't even know what the meaning of "capping a school" is. Time to order more trailers.
Kevin Hill, lead the ponies to water and see if they'll drink for you.
