CCCAAC comments
on Raleigh and Cary being recognized as the No. 1 city for public schools
We applaud Great Schools for providing the study
of ratings, data and information on the top schools in large cities across the United States that show WCPSS being ranked
as the top school system in the nation because of the “diversity policy.”
Their study shows that Wake’s diversity policy
provides equality and equity for all children while offering “parent choice” in school selections that range from
traditional, year round, magnet, International Baccalaureate program.
Now that the school board has abandoned the
“diversity policy,” will they adopt an assignment policy that separate students according to race and economics
creating more high poverty schools?
Will the board majority adopt an assignment
plan that does not promote/foster equal education opportunities for all students but rather support inequalities, inequities
and separation among our children?
Will the school board support a highly trained
and effective staff, attractive and appropriate learning facilities, a safe, orderly and inviting learning climate, strong
and effective leadership and a diverse student body at each of our schools within our school system?
All children deserve equal educational opportunities
regardless of ethnicity or economic status.
The CCCAAC is a parent based grassroots organization whose mission is to assist parents in helping their children receive optimal educational opportunities while advocating for all children.
The CCCAAC believe
that all children benefit when they attend economically and racially diverse schools.

our group’s input regarding the qualifications of our next superintendent for Wake County Public School System.
We believe our next superintendent
should have the following qualifications:
1. Experience in a variety of positions
in public and urban education in an area that is comparable to Wake County including experience as a senior administrator
2. Intimate knowledge of the daily
work & responsibilities of general education teachers
3. A track record of fairness and open-mindedness
4. Excellent interpersonal skills
5. Ability to articulate a coherent vision for excellence and lead
others in a quest for the vision.
The CCCAAC is a parent

Students benefit when they
attend schools that are ethnically and economically diverse.

THE CCCAAC Comments on Proposed
Changes to Job Description for Superintendent
The recent proposed changes to the Job Description
for Superintendent supported by WCPSS BOE majority continue to show their efforts to promote racial and economic divide among
our community and students. Separating students according to race and economic
divide does not provide quality education for all children but rather support segregation.
The BOE majority continues to make decision regarding
the education of our
children without having knowledge/understanding
the need for quality education for all children.
Does the BOE understand?
*Business leaders work to garner yearly profit
versus an educator who works for dividends that occur at the end of the education cycle; graduation from high school
*The Business community interest is only for financial
profit versus an educator who is concerned about educating all children and has been trained in the profession of education
*
A business can control their clientele versus an educator who teaches public education which is opened to the public.
Non-Educator as a Superintendent:
1. Would the BOE majority seek a doctor/surgeon
for medical care who has not been trained in the medical profession when you are ill and in desperate need of urgent health
care?
2. Would the BOE majority seek an attorney who
has no legal training when you are on death row?
3. Would the BOE majority seek a dentist without
proper training when needed to be properly fitted for dentures?
4. Would the BOE majority seek legal services from
a business person who has no legal knowledge or legal experience?
5. Would the BOE majority seek a leader for our
school system, someone who has no educational background or knowledge to lead our school system?
The
fight is for ALL CHILDREN!!
It’s all about the children!!!
