Do you have children in the district? If so, explain. My children are not old enough yet, but they will be in the district that I am running for once they are of age. The school board has been divided over partisan politics in recent years. How do you think that’s affected how the district has been run?
As a result of a new state law to redistrict the Wake County School Board, candidates running for the school board this year will have to serve shorter terms and run for entirely different districts come 2016. On Oct. 8, Wake County voters will elect School Board members to Districts 1, 2, 7 and 9. Under the new state law to redistrict the Wake school board, Senate Bill 325, ratified June 13, those districts and the rest of the nine current school districts have been turned into seven districts and two new at-large seats that will represent the county as a whole. This is the second redrawing of the Wake school board in two years and a dramatic redrawing of the school system’s political map.
