PTA's opinion on policy 6200

Hunter Families

Given the recent resignation of Superintendent Del Burns and other pressing issues surrounding the new School Board, the Hunter PTA will no longer remain silent. Working with other Wake County schools, the Hunter PTA has passed a support statement. This measure discusses what we feel is important to our families, community and school.

"The General Membership of Hunter Elementary School PTA has voted to support Wake County School District's current student assignment policy and encourage the Board to continue to use socio-economic diversity as a factor to maintain educational excellence, equity and access for all students. We particularly encourage the continued use of the Magnet Program as a successful strategy for achieving strong student performance and socio-economic diversity."

Along with other Wake County magnet schools, Hunter will continue to advocate for our school, families, and community with the statement above.
