A topic that is stirring emotions among parents. The charlottemecklenburg school board is creating a plan to help them decide where your child will attend school. Board members confronted the fear parents have been talking more diverse schools. Dedrick russell was in that meeting. And i hear one board member got frustrated during this discussion . That is right that is tom tate. You know it was his meeting and he got so bothered today that he just shutdown. But while he remained solid, district officials were out in the community making sure every voice was heard concerning this conversation about Student Assignment. Parents showed up with signs to tell Board Members no to forced busing. Board member wanted her colleagues to pass a resolution to say forced busing will not be considered. Committee chairman tom tate said no. He believes its too early for that. Board members reworded the districts goals of Student Assignment and much discussion. Tate got frustrated with the direction of the meeting and asked erica Ellis Stewart to takeover. We have to be intentional sometimes to take a step forward you have to take a step back and that give and flow that National Tension and we are passionate about what we are doing. I feel unfortunate that mr. Tate did not want to participate in the rest of the discussion. She has three kids in cms. Busing concerns her. There is a lot of anxiety. And my firm belief is that nobody should be bussed not my kids and not any kids should be. Lennon did not get her resolution about forced busing but did get words changed in the goals. She hopes that will calm parents fears. I was adamant that the Parents Choice would be a key component to the goals. And that it is now been added. Adding that word is huge for me. While Board Members deal with policy, the district was in certain neighborhoods today making sure a Diverse Group of people fill out surveys about Student Assignment. The map. Identify zip codes and come to where the people are. This team gathered about 300 responses. But the one response these parents want to hear is no forced busing. I feel that since it is still there its still there. Now so far the majority of Board Members they tell me they do not agree with forced busing. They say it will be just too costly. And we wanted to talk to tom tate but he said no. And he told us to speak with erica Ellis Stewart. Yesterday, i reported on a die viesive school board today they are on the right track and believe that todays discussion proves that they agree on more than what they disagree on.
