While the recent focus has been, and continues to be, on Wake County’s controversial reassignment policy, we shouldn’t forget that parents in other counties and districts are dealing with the same issue. In Chapel Hill, there are striking similarities between the arguments used by Chapel Hill and Wake parents. For example, upset Chapel Hill parents have started emailing school board members about a proposed move from a Chapel Hill school to one in Carrboro miles away. As in Wake, these parents want neighborhood schools. As in Wake, the Chapel Hill school board is looking at busing kids miles from home. Just like in Wake, the upset parents argue that busing to achieve economic diversity is poor policy, and that the likely result of a system that doesn’t listen to its customers is that customers will go elsewhere for the service: a private school.
