Requests for Accountability of Wake County Public School System

  • Please make the new math guidelines board policy so we are assured they are followed. Guidelines are merely recommendations made by staff and it is so important that placement isn't dependent on which school your child attends.
  • Please publish the new guidelines on the school system web site so they are easily found by parents.
  • Please notify any parent whose child was predicted to be successful, but not placed. According to the guidelines, there will be a compelling reason documented and that information should be shared with parents.
  • Please publish an annual placement report, similar to those done by EdStar, SAS and the Wake Education Partnership. It is important to show the school system is accountable, the issues of consistency, fairness and bias have been addressed and that progress is being made.
