No to at-large school board

This is a county-wide school system and all areas of the county should continue to be represented on the school board.
Yes to at-large school board

The problem is that kids from out-of-district are being bussed into our district, and we can be bussed out of district. This amounts to no representation out of district and is an unfair and inequitable voting system.
I vote for Yes to at-large school board - if we can be bussed anywhere in Wake County then we need to be able to vote for all of Wake County, not just our district.
At Large School Board Seats?
NO NO NO ! ! ! See where the support for this coming from - all communities that are hotbeds for newcomers to the area. One of the current board members stated that this would put those with more financial backing on the board, which would not be fair representation. Dead on! How many quotes will we have to endure from Dawn Graff and WAKE Cares? I can see the entire school board coming from the western part of Wake County. Well guess what, Apex and Cary? We didn't have all these problems until you came here and now you want to change everything about the school system to your liking. If you don't like what we've got, there's another county not too far from your door - good bye!
