Board's Plan for Student Success Goes to County
May 13, 2008 – The Wake County Board of Education’s Plan for Student Success has been delivered to the Wake County Commissioners and posted on the school system’s webpage.The Board of Education and Wake County Board of Commissioners will review the Plan for Student Success during a joint work session on May 21.
The board’s Plan for Student Success provides expanded educational opportunities in foreign language, special education and reading. After hearing from community leaders who called on the school board to address student academic needs and close achievement gaps, board members approved a budget requesting $355.484 million in local funding.
The board’s action begins the process of addressing higher standards, moving academic progress upward off its plateau, and eliminating achievement gaps, while at the same time addressing growth and other changes that impact student learning.
The county commissioners determine funding for all county services including the school system. The county commissioners will set the budget in June.
