Why this petition matters

Please sign this petition to show North Carolina State Board of Education that we (Northeast Wake residents) want them to support the public schools and stop approving additional charter schools in our area.  

The large charter school growth in our community has caused a socioeconomic segregation amongst the schools.  This has happened because the charter schools are providing for primarily the more affluent, high achieving students and families.  The result is leaving the public schools increasingly saturated with the high needs students and decreased enrollments.  In addition the charter schools are continuing to funnel large amounts of money out of the education budget.  Those funds are desperately needed.  

This has had a devastating impact to our public schools.  Northeast Wake has approximately the same number of charter schools as the entire rest of Wake County and more are trying to come in.  These schools are placing a burden on our community public schools that they can only survive with but for so long.  We love our public schools and love that they educate ALL children.  We must hold the State Board of Education accountable to be responsible with our tax payer money/education funding.  They have to stop allowing charter school growth and keep our public schools balanced and strong. 

Whether you have children or not, the economic vitality of your community relies heavily on the strength of the traditional public schools. Our schools must be strong to keep our community successful.

Please join us in signing this petition to stop additional charter school growth in Northeast Wake County.  This, along with proper funding is crucial to the survival of our public schools and our community.
