Was able to spend a little time today watching the BoE work session, we should all be very afraid. The process of redistricting nodes and sub-nodes prioritizes achievement of economic mix over all other considerations. In fairness, when that was not in question, the BoE did make some attempts to consider proximity to schools in their assignments. But most of the discussion was about data: what percent F&R students, what percent of capacity, etc. I never dreamed my kids would end up as decimal points in somebody's chart, but that is today's reality in WCPS.
On the upside, for a change one of the BoE members said something I can fully agree with. In a sidebar, a comment was made about our towns' governments being unwilling to control growth, then stabbing the BoE in the [back]. Right on!
WakeCARES was faithfully represented again, keep up the good work.
A little anarchy goes a long way

Do you agree that CTC members should get lifetime health benefits after serving 4 terms?
Quote(s) of the Year
"Change has a considerable
psychological impact on the
human mind. To the fearful
it is threatening because
it means that things may get
worse. To the hopeful it is
encouraging because things
may get better. To the
confident it is inspiring
because the challenge exists
to make things
better." - King Whitney Jr.
As quoted by Marla Dorrel in
the ceremonial opening of
the 10/11/07 CTC meeting
Letters to Editor, etc.
WakeWatch
Do not settle for representatives who cater to special interest groups, while we struggle to find classrooms for our children
A Constructive Approach
Have roads, water/sewer capacity and schools in place before growth occurs.

Apex just came out with their growth numbers. 2005 growth of 3.4%, 2006 growth of 2.8%, 2007 expected growth 3%. Does this warrant the phrase excessive growth? I think not!
I have respect for Mr.Weatherly and the way Apex is run. I live in Cary, and believe our town's council was the subject of the BoE's remarks, and believe they are right. Cary has a hard time saying 'no' to any developer.
