Stan Norwalk, a candidate for Wake County commissioner, claims that “diversity is the key that has made the [Wake County] schools successful.”

As a retired executive, you know firsthand that measurement, data, and assessment should guide decision-making. Why should Wake County’s diversity policy be any different?
