In a September 11, 2009 memo from Assistant Superintendent David Holdzkom to Superintendent Del Burns, Holdzkom lists external research projects approved and not approved by his Evaluation and Research office.
Holdzkom’s office did not approve a project on race, class, and student assignment proposed by Sheneka Williams of the University of Georgia. It is possible that it was a poorly conceived study, so why not work with the researcher to get the study into shape? If that is not possible, why not approve (or conduct) a study that examines these factors?
If the Wake County Public School System is proud of its busing policy, then what is the problem?
