Wake Community is reviewing Raleigh's proposed comprehensive plan and hope you will do so as well. You can access it at sociallyenginneringRaleigh2030.
The nifty folks who put together Raleigh's comprehensive plan tucked in a treasure trove of gems. They run the gamut of local public policy issues.
It seems both Raleigh's illuminati and the "planning experts" at the Wake County Public School System will force economically diverse schools on Raleigh families in one way or the other.
Here's what Raleigh's proposing (among a whole host of other items).
Raleigh's Comprehensive Plan - Page 238
Policy RC 32
Coordinate with WCPSS to co-locate affordable housing in conjunction with the development of new school sites to encourage economic diversity within new neighborhoods and schools and reduce the need for busing. (2, 3, 4, 6)
"Reduce the need for busing." So Raleigh ascribes that there is a need to continue a process that annually like clockwork evokes outrage in parents throughout Raleigh and Wake County.
So what Raleigh is saying is that if they can't reduce the "need" for busing, then this type of massive unnecessary shifting of large numbers of students across Wake County is okay. Any other type of large scale commuting is wholly unacceptable.
They sure don't soft-peddle the "need" for people to earn a living and commute to work. That clogs up our roads and pours pollutants into the air. Nevermind what an old school bus and thousands of school children being shuffled around Raleigh does. Let's also not speak about the impact this has on children.
Parents who have been showing up at assignment hearings in Raleigh, mark your calendar. You need to be at these meetings also and you need to go online and protest Raleigh's plans to socially engineer our schools. You can comment online now. The meetings take place in January.
