From the News & Observer (emphaisis is mine):

The Wake County school board agreed today on a goal of having a 100 percent graduation rate by 2014.

School board members and administrators acknowledged that it would be extremely difficult to reach the goal, calling it “aspirational.”

Currently, 78.8 percent of Wake’s high school students are graduating on time in four years.

School officials listed ways today to make sure Wake is moving closer toward the new goal of 100 percent graduation. But no specifics were given on how Wake would try to reach the goal.

Sorry folks, but hope and aspirations aren’t enough.

What’s next? A vote for world peace?
