Welcome to Wake County NC.

Wake County has been the scene of acrimonious dispute since the school board voted to scrap a decade-old policy that used busing to achieve socio-economic balance in public schools. The NAACP and other groups have staged protests and marches and filed a federal civil rights complaint.

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Education/2010/0324/Busing-to-end-in-Wake-County-N.C.-Goodbye-school-diversity

Parents and residents who spoke in favor of the new policy at Tuesday’s board meeting said busing for the purpose of economic diversity poses an unfair burden on families, in terms of costs to the district and in time that children could spend on learning rather than being transported.

•Accountability – A Wake County School Board that is accountable to Wake parents, students and taxpayers and members and will lead based on principle;
•Flexibility – Revision of the student assignment policy, which includes supporting stability for individual students, KEEPING SIBLINGS TOGETHER, and recognizing families as INDIVIDUALS rather than NODES within a system. This also includes creation of additional options for parents and students when a proposed assignment is unfavorable;

Would you be okay with this? I mean honestly….would you? Remember this is your child that is going to sit on a bus for an extra 40 minutes to go to a school that isn’t even near your home. In the name of “diversity”?
Country Club? you are lying.

Should I go to the holiday office party?

by admin in Property Management

Question : Should I go to the holiday office party?
I work at this sports facility from Feb. – Oct. as a Registration Manager. I’ve done this for almost 3 years already. I started off as a volunteer. Last year I was invited to the holiday office party but decided not to go. This year I was invited again and out of guilt I said “yes.” (A few weeks ago, a co worker came up to me and asked why I don’t hang out with them after work. I don’t want them to think I am a prude). I was asked to bring a significant other but I’m not.. I don’t have a boyfriend. Problem is I’m not all that close with anyone.. it’s all upper management. They’ll all have their bf’s and husbands and I’ll be the loner. Should I go? If so, how do I fit in? I’m not working right now so I was going to approach my boss asking if she needed extra help. Is this a good idea?

Go with an open mind, you may have a good time.
Otherwise, plan to stay for an hour then quietly leave. If anyone asks, say you have another engagement. Just showing up, will take the monkey off your back.

Look for the rental because there are many islands and getting to some requires plane changes and extra air fare .
